What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
Finished:
Clapotis the Second: replacing the stolen first Clap, in a different colorway of the same yarn.
In Progress:
Beautiful Sunset Shawl--from the Camp CogKnitive 2015 colorway from the amazing Dizzy Blonde Studios.
Perennials Cowl--yarns by Pirate yarns and by Ombre (red)
Mei Mei Socks--one done, the other is waiting behind the shawls in progress.!
The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. In time out.
Dizzy Blondes:
The wheels are quiet again. No Spinzilla for me, but all the best to those of you who play along!
Strategy:
Find out what the other person really wants when you try to persuade them that you are right..
Put a Lid On It:
Canning! Jalapeno Salsa and melon pickles.
Aw Shoot!
First race is Oct 18th, while I try to finally get certified in SCUBA--Open Water. Training is behind because of the extreme heat here lately.
Something I Really Like:
OMG, I knew I forgot something. How about Needlepoints West (discussed in the Blather, actually).
Blather:
Generally catching up.
A review of the very excellent Needlepoints West--I got the name wrong in the podcast itself--ARG!!!--a great knitting resource just about one mile from the Los Angeles airport.
Some news of CFR7.
And a fond and grateful (if regretful) farewell to the excellent podcast Hollywood Knitter. We will miss your cheery voice, Allison!
It's hot. It's really hot.
