a few things:
- The washcloth is finished. It is a good size, probably 10" in diameter. I’d show a picture but my sister is in the shower, so is the cloth. Works great.
- The yarn for my sister is using is Kathmandu, the Queensland Collection.
- The pattern for the wrap is in Fall 2005 IK.
- It is raining. Normally, I would high tail it down to the barn and use this as a dye day. Today, with a 10 yr. old and my sister looking for something to do…er..mmm.. I will be finding something. (Perhaps a museum??) For now, the crayon box and a roll of paper are on the table. When I unrolled the paper I found that there was ten feet of previously colored illustrations from another rainy day. Actually, it was fun to see last year’s mural of Mouseville.
- L wants to go to Walmart. She likes the washcloth and wants some cotton. That’s an hour’s drive. C wants a table saw. I was thinking more in terms of a gallon of milk. I think I need to think higher thoughts.
- Whatever happened to a good book?

Thanks!
Higher thoughts? Naw. It’s them, not you.
Aww, rainy days are for hanging out knitting or reading. Hope you get a little time for that.
Don’t you just hate wasting rainy days on errands? Much better to be dyeing or reading or knitting (or all three).
I’m with you. Rainy day are great for sitting cross-legged on the couch with a cup of tea and crocheting. Aaawwww… Ok… You could knit instead; I suppose. heehee
I love that colorway of Kathmandu — don’t know why I didn’t recognize it…
Takes me an hour to drive to Walmart too..maybe an hour and fifteen in the rain…which it did here today too…
There’s nothing worse than a trip to Walmart for a time suck.
The Shawl pattern does appear to be in IK Fall 2005.Say hello to Linda for me :).
I love the hour drive to Wal-mart. Mine is on a highway that goes through Northwestern Ontario bush country. I love to stand in the craft section and just think of all the things I could make with those fabulous colours. Although I do prefer natural fibres (easier on the environment) to acrylics (they have their place and I’m not against them), the colours always get me.
Now, that I’ve managed to successfully make stitch markers too, I think the beading section may begin it’s own siren song.
Hmm, it is much more than an hour’s drive to walmart from here, thank heavens!
No pics of your sister in the shower with the washcloth? Darnit! 😉
I WISH Walmart was an hour away, then my kids would be less inclined to want to go there. As it is it’s ten minutes away, and I have to divine clever ways to get home without driving by it. I HATE that place.
