When you Can’t Think of a Good Title.
This really should be the last stash-enhancement you see for a while. Six balls of Jaggerspun Zephyr in White and Admiral. And some Interlacements silk roving in Mountain Jewel from The Knitter.com. I haven’t tried spinning 100% silk yet and am actually a little afraid, but it was so pretty, I thought I’d add it to my stash, anyway.
But, seriously, I don’t plan on buying any more yarn until Rhinebeck. Plans have been known to go awry, of course. (Gee, there should be some, pithy sort of aphorism about that, don’t you think? Like, “Best laid plans of mice and men often go agly?” Something like that?) But really, I think I’ve added enough to my stash for now. But yes, I do plan on buying more at Rhinebeck, so don’t even try to talk me out of it!
We had some very cute, unexpected visitors at the office this morning. That’s 2-year old Jimmy, with his twin siblings, Didi and Andy, who’ll be six months old in a couple weeks. Cute, cute little kids!
And speaking of cute, here’s a cute little game link, if you’re bored. Grow. Click on the 10 items around the edge to add to the game–when you add them in a specific sequence, you win. And it’s fun getting there. (Although I’ll admit that after a number of tries, I did a google search to find a couple hints.) It’s cute, and those little, faceless people are really quite industrious! Or, how about these: Games for the Brain. I’m really inept at computer games, but I enjoy vocabulary games–and these are kind of fun.
Oh, and Sandy? Here’s what my sky looked like today! Clear, blue, and beautiful. I took this in the backyard after work.
I still have my fingers crossed over Hurricane Rita, now a Category 5, heading for Texas. I don’t want it to hit Louisiana/Mississippi again, like Katrina did, but I don’t want it walloping Texas, either! I’ve got a cousin who lives in Galveston, too . . . I just hope there was a really fast learning curve after Katrina, and that people are actually prepared for this one. It does sound like people are taking the evacuations seriously. (Especially in Galveston, since they know all about devastating storms there.) I’m glad to hear that they’re letting people bring their pets, this time! Because, seriously, a lot of people stayed during Katrina to be with their pets. I think I’m going to go make another donation to Mercy Corps . . . I think they’re going to need it.

What did you get the Zephyr for? Do you have a particular project in mind? Just curious! Zephyr is wonderful stuff!
I think you hit it right on — people have learned from Katrina, and are getting out ahead of time. They already evacuated the hospitals, etc, and we have a huge traffic snarl of people coming from down there to up here (Dallas).
Yarn and roving? Beautiful.
Little ones? Just adorable. I vaguely remember when my pair were that little. Luuuuvvve those little ones.
Okay, now that game? Not so nice of you. I just wasted the last half hour playing with it and the earlier one.
