On the hottest and most humid day this summer, I picked the last of the strawberries. They were few and far between but having missed the season it was good to get what I could. Passed this on the way home..
they were on a mission.. probably to look for a cool shady swimming hole, who knows?
Last evening I did manage to fill another bobbin with a mohair/ wool blend I’ve been working on. Long draw. It has quickly become my favorite. I’ve always had a variation on the long draw, but this IS fast. A neighbor stopped by in the evening to chat, giving me plenty of time to spin while visiting and an excuse to do nothing else.
Question for Miss Manners: Is it rude to use guests as an excuse knit / spin when you have guests stop by? Guess this audience is doomed, heh?

Spin and knit away so you can teach the craft to others 😉
Hmmm, I think it can be rude for guests to just “stop by.” At my house, they get what they get, and that may well be spinning!
Wonderful photo!
Not rude. Peter Sellars (Being There, 1979): “I like to watch.”
What a great photo! Even the building behind the ducks is charming….in it’s own way.
Knitting or spinning in front of friends is one of those things I decide according to the friend. Most of my friends know me well enough to know that my attention is on them, but I have known people to get really annoyed with me. Generally the body language gives it away. I do it and if I think they aren’t digging it, I quit. (If I like them. :-))
Too cute!! I love that picture. Those geese definitely look like they are on a mission!
That is a question, isn’t it? I must agree, “they get what they get”. I think it is why they visit, it is entertaining…The photo is wonderful–they look as if they are a mission.
hmmm, I often wondered if I should bring knitting when I visit the future in-laws…they aren’t craft people, so I haven’t yet. I suppose when they come to our house, they won’t have a choice! 🙂
