Don't you just love this colorway? Flusi from Regia.


What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: I am finished the child-sized socks in Regia Flusi sock yarn. I am down STILL to the last 6 rows of the Eliina Shawl. Not really spinning this week, but I am saving as hard as I can for a Lendrum wheel in my future. Meanwhile, I am crocheting like the wild wind on the Rippled Throw, and I am knitting the usual Yule-tide scarf for charity. And do not forget the quickie Knitted Neck Scarf--a 1-2-day project.

We miss you, Gigi! Get well quick! Hang in there, Jasmin!


Strategy: Call a meeting for later and walk away (if you must) when a rude family member is getting in your face. Then be prepared to set clear and firm boundaries at your meeting.


Something I Really Like: Starbucks' seasonal drinks, especially decaf Lattes in creme brulee or eggnog flavors. And try them as steamers to totally eliminate the caffeine!


Blather: Giving a class to the warden, end-of-the-year craziness at my classes, and stressed-out inmates trying to get through another holiday season away from their families.

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: I am nearly finished the child-sized socks in Regia Flusi sock yarn. I am down to the last 6 rows of the Eliina Shawl. Not really spinning this week, but I am back to working on the Rippled Throw.


Strategy: Teenager 101.


Something I Really Like: Knit Naturally podcast and its host, Dawn


Blather: Building a web site for the podcast and weathering the holidays at a locked, inpatient setting, and Stitch Cafe!

What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: I am working on a set of child-sized socks in Regia Flusi sock yarn, and I am onto the finishing for the newest Mommy Shawl. I am on to the lace section at last(!) of the Eliina Shawl.


Strategy: Remember that being hurt by those you love is a proof that you are healthy and able to love. Everyone lets us down sometimes.


Something I Really Like: The Irish and Celtic Music Podcast


Blather: Of having some sort of flu and trudging through anyway.

And here's the Eliina Shawl, in progress, with the lace at the far edge from the camera:

Re-posting--Episode 12

More repostings of old episodes from mypodcast.com. I figure that I owe you all a few episodes this week, to make up for last week’s dearth.

Episode 12--which I think of with some embarrassment as the "Call Me 'Doctor'" episode and sound more like Dr. Xander Crowe than I'd like to!
