Bulletin!

Really, nothing new or exciting.

  • Even having finished my Trekking Socks, I have not yet started a new pair of socks. Although, hopefully my first Sundara Petals yarn installment should come soon. But in the meantime, I wound the pretty hand-dyed yarn from my Knitter’s Tea Swap pal into ball . . . they sure look pretty!
  • I toyed around with the cute, baby yarn that I plan on turning into an afghan, but without a real pattern, I’m still not sure what I want to make with it. I mean, sure, a blanket, but what kind?
  • Chappy and I did manage to squeeze in a very quick walk around the block when I got home from work. It rained on and off all day, and it’s raining now, but we got just enough of a dry spell to stretch our legs. It’s been a week and a half since we made it all the way around the block, and a week since we got out of the house at all, so we’re happy (and tired)
  • I did actually get some spinning done last night. That was the first time in several weeks, and it felt good. These long pauses between spinning sessions, though, is doing nothing for my expertise.
  • I have an emergency dentist visit scheduled for Thursday afternoon because a piece of one of my teeth broke off yesterday. (He can only yell so much, though–it happened while I was brushing my teeth.) Luckily, it doesn’t hurt, but still . . . ugh.
  • Speaking of spinning, have you heard of the Summer Spinning group?
  • And, oh yeah, they’re forecasting more rain for tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next . . .

  1. Maybe Chappy needs a treadmill so he can run a little.

  2. I’m so tired of this rain - it feels like we haven’t had sun in NJ in years. Good luck at the dentist!

  3. Aw - sounds wonderful - a finished object, toying with the next project, a walk with Chappy and rain (OK - I’m tired of rain, too, but it’s a great excuse to stay in and knit!)

  4. Heh, I can fully sympathize except we didn’t have even enough dry time for me to take Max for a walk! Poor thing didn’t even want to go out to piddle until he had to! :)

  5. I can’t wait to see your installment of Sundara petals…photos please so we can all be envious!Good luck at the dentist; I hope it isn’t too terrible.

    Rumor has it that Saturday the sun may actually come out. I’m hoping to actually take my bike out, so maybe you and Chappy can get in another good long walk too!

  6. Rain rain go away . . .

  7. Yay for enough dry weather for a walk around the block. I can’t wait to see pictures of the Petals collection. I knew I was going to kick myself for not joining, but… And you know I’ve heard of the Summer of Spinning! Congrats on getting some spinning time last night.

  8. I suggest the Fibercrack baby blanket on JenLa’s blog - I just finished one and I must say it is gorgeous!
