New Place

All our stuff is finally moved to our new place. Didn't ever think I'd ever live someplace that seems so much like Camazots. Funny isn't it, that I love matching things, but am slightly frightened by matching shrubs...



However, any possible sense of claustrophobia is cancelled out by the view from my living room.



People, that is the sunset over the Pacific ocean.

Now, to finish school and get all these boxes unpacked...

So what is going on in real life that prevents blogging:

• Attempting to learn Koine Greek (and memorization doesn't come easily for me)
• Spinning the brown alpaca (which makes me sneeze and must be spun outside the house)
• Aparment hunting (trust me, I would only do this if I had to)
• Teaching (only 5 weeks to go then no more paycheck)

I'll be back, sometime when I don't feel like Eeyore...

Work In Progress

Knitting my first shawl with true laceweight yarn.



Still carding alpaca from this:



to this:



and dreaming of other spring projects...


(my plum roving, all spun up)

Handspun Stash: Brown

The twilight roving is all spun now. The red/pink braid became the singles on the far left, and the blue/brown braid became the two ply in the middle. Not sure what to make with all this!

In the mood for lace...

Belated

Well, I missed posting on St. Patrick's day this year, which makes me a bit sad. However, it was one of those low energy days and I don't regret having focused my St. Paddy's energy on fixing dinner rather than blogging. There was corned beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes. Yum! I need to remember to fix cabbage more often.

Today, in the spirit of posting something green (better late than never) I present my belated St. Patrick's day FO:



a small, squishy scarf from this handspun.

My first try at handpainting top :)
