The Week September 18-24
Last week: Weave in the ends of Aranami/Imanara (there are lots even though I’ve been weaving in as I go), and wash & block, then sniff & squish. All done! Choose and start a new knitting project. Will it be a blanket to give away or will it be a shawl to keep? I have…

The Week September 11-17
Last week: Order from Campus Cookies for Ethan for his birthday Thursday. Eat more of Ky’s cake to celebrate in Ethan’s absence. Our first birthday apart and his 18th. The cookies & balloons were a grand success – Ethan, his roommate and the guys on his hall feasted. I think it was a pretty good birthday…

The Week September 4-10
Last week: Decide what’s next for Aranami/Imanara. The choices: Work the final row (different from regular rows) in the bright colored yarn. The final stripe would be 1/2 a row taller than all the other stripes. Work another stripe of the dull colored yarn, with the final row being part of the stripe. All stripes would…

The Week August 21-27
Last week: Start chewing soft food. I ate Triscuits, my current food obsession, so I’m pretty much back to all-normal food. Hurray! Get Ethan, middle son, ready to go to his first year of college 8/23. He’s not ready, physically packing-wise or mentally. We should have let him take a gap year – he’s not…

The Week August 14-20
Last week: Saturday morning I have an appointment to have a cracked tooth pulled and an implant started. This is my first extraction since having my wisdom teeth out years ago and I’m a little nervous, but I’m looking forward to not having a tooth that complains about cool breezes, much less hot or cold…

The Week August 7-13
Last week: Carry on with Aranami. Done, though only a little. Embroidery: finish the top half of the fox pillow design. Done: I finished the whole thing and bought a pillow form to fill the case! Spinning: carry on. I finished spinning and finishing (washing & whacking) all the in-progress stuff, counted yardage and weighed…

Addendum to Tour of My Tour de Fleece
It’s already been too long since TdF ended and I got my projects mixed up in my last post. I did just finish spinning a batt of merino naturally dyed with indigo and butterfly bush, but I started that after TdF. I forget about two other yarns that I spun between the last part of…

Belated Tour of My Tour de Fleece 2017
Before we get much further into August, I thought I’d write post about Tour de Fleece before I forget everything. I’m pretending the Tour just ended along with July for as long as I can before my middle son heads to college and my oldest returns to college. Anyway… I joined a sort of familiar…
