A bit of snow to remind you that these dog-days will pass...

The 2011 CogKnitive Fiber Retreat continues to be open for sign-up for the wiaiting list. The Retreat is scheduled for October 1 (believe me, it will be here before you know it). IF you have signed up for the first attendees list and been accepted (not the wait list), your payment is due!


The wait list is at 8 as I type this, but we seem likely to lose a few people to Vogue Knitting, so do not give up hope!

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle:

Still in Progress:

TwinFace's 2011 Holiday Afghan, themed after the Third Doctor of Classic Doctor Who. *wheeze*

Mother Bear Project Bear #10. They look so pathetic at this early stage.... This is due for finishing the scarf.

4x4 Sweet Tortie Socks, being made in SWM from FatCatKnits, colorway is Sweet Tortie. Very soft and luscious, but too scrambled to look good as anything but a good pair of socks. I can't wait to wear these babies!

Petal Shawlette. But do I like it enough to really finish it?

Dizzy Blondes:

2 ounces of FreckleFaceFibers' SWM in turquoise, purple mix on the bobbin. Thinking about doing last 2 ounces on separate bobbin and double-plying...

Strategy: Women and letting go.  Thought-substituting for success.

Something I Really Like:

Running skorts

Episode 111 is Live

Artemis

I have lost my wonderful friend of the past 6 years. Artemis died quietly of unknown causes at the age of 12 years. I have lost the beloved friend who ran up the road every evening to greet my car as I returned from work. She takes a big piece of my heart with her.

Episode 110 Notes

IMAG0327

Yes, this is a VERY late posting of this episode, mainly because we took a few days to return to the site of our wedding on Mt. Shasta as a way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was fantastic!

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle:
Finished:

Multnomah Shawl--

Blocked and simply gorgeous! Oh, I adore using my own handspun!

IMAG0292

Mother Bear Project Bears--Number 9.  A little on the short side, due to a yarn that pretends to be worsted weight but certainly cannot be.

Wristers: Finished! #1 is a little tight, but certainly usable, as I have discovered on a few early morning runs.

Still in Progress:

TwinFace's 2011 Holiday Afghan, themed after the Third Doctor of Classic Doctor Who. Pray I have the grit to continue!

Dizzy Blondes:

It's Tour de Fleece, so I am working away on my wheels again....

2 bobbins of BeeMiceElf merino in lovely pinks and purples...

Strategy: Okay, I DO say a little more about passive-agression, but, really, this is about...Breathe out your ass!

Popsicle maker. A simple way to summer joy for young and old.
