What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
Finished:
Spiral Socks for the Youngest Knitmore. Yarn by Shaggy Bear Farms in Merino + Tussah Silk.
Square for Love Blanket 2:
If ever there was a tribute to swatching and washing the swatch first to get a perfect 5 inch by 5 inch square, this is it.
In progress:
Applegate Socks: Gourmet Stash on Etsy sold me the yarn, but she seems not to be dyeing at this time. Sock #1 is done right up to the toe, which will be fitted when I see my friend in New Jersey.
Mei Mei Socks--n time out until other projects are done!
The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. In time out.
Dizzy Blondes:
Tour de Fleece is on!
Primary goals of tuning up my Ashford wheels. have been met.
These are fibers from Lisa Souza and from Red Fish in intense blues being washed and finished. Notice the absolute lack of bleeding. Nothing like being able to buy from the pros!
Here are the dyers whose fibers I spun this year. What did their fibers have in common? ABSOLUTELY NO BLEEDING of excess dyes.
BeeMiceElf Fibers
Red Fish Dye Works--excellent luxury yarns and fiber blends
Lisa Souza Dyeworks
Sunshine Yarns
Singles in BeeMiceElf, colorway: Wild Flowers.
Strategy:
Put a Lid On It:
Jasmin's Kale Salad recipe. I replace cabbage with the broccoli slaw mix in a bag from Trader Joe's.
Aw Shoot!
SCUBA! It's been interesting....that is my Buoyancy control device floating around in the training pool.
The running season has now officially moved indoors to the elliptical, giving me a chance to get past the plantar fasciitis that had set in to my left leg.
Hot Summer running: Remember:
1. Wear layers to adjust your cooling system. Carry water. Or stash it along your route.
2. Carry ID.
3. Wear reflective clothing. Be seen.
3. Carry water for your running dog or have the dog carry it for himself or herself. At a minimum, water your pal every 3 miles, more as needed.
4. Look for the routes where the breezes blow.
5. Avoid concrete and dark surfaces that are too hot to tolerate as you run.
6. Recognize dehydration and treat it right away.
7. Know when to stop. If you run through a damaging situation, you can lose weeks to months of running. Losing one run to concern may save you from losing much more.
8. Wear polarized sunglasses.
9. Do not hesitate to carry water for yourself, no matter how short a run you take.
RUN SAFE!--always be alert to the fact that you can be attacked.
Something I Really Like:
