Hello, friends! I am finally over my cold, thank heavens! And it's 70 degrees today! Lots to be grateful for.
I started a group on Ravelry for fans of hot water bottles. Seemed appropriate since I am so obsessed, I mean passionate about mine. I am so happy with our little group. After only a few days we have almost 100 members from all over the globe, posting our pictures, chatting about knitting. I am enjoying it immensely.
Today, I told my 16 year old son that he was making dinner. This required him to take the Pillsbury pizza dough out of the roll, put it on a pan and top with canned sauce and a bag of cheese. He didn't want to, but his friends were here and they were all, "I love to make pizza." I decided that each of my kids will make dinner once a week. They plan and prepare 4 meals a month. Sounds good to me. Baby steps to having the kids do all of my work!
Last month I bought a new yarn and wanted to show you. Really, I want you to feel it. Some kind of wonderful:
Manos del Uruguay Serena
This yarn is made by a cooperative of women in rural Uruguay. It makes it possible for them to get a fair wage. That would be a good reason to buy a decent yarn, but Serena leaves decent yarn in the dust. It's alpaca and cotton and so soft.
Note: It says dk weight but I got 6 sts per inch holding 2 strands together using US size 5. It's really fingering weight.
Your new yarn is really beautiful. I can't believe how many of the HWBC you have made. I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. They are really beautiful. They do look like cute sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the car right now knitting up a sock for Marc. I took a picture of it. Hopefully I can stay inspired to finish it!
I had a great time with Carol. We should all go on a knitters cruise. Wouldn't that be a blast! I would learn so much.
Great idea on the kids and dinner. I had the same idea, now I've got to get it in action.
Love you!
