Thank you Secret Pal. It’s a wonderful sunny day, thus the glare on the book covers. I’m sorry, I could have waited to post, but wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful surprise. For those of you who don’t know me outside of this blog world, I collect textiles from Central America.
Knitting charts can be easily translated from this book, pretty terrific stuff. I am wildly in love with the patterning, the colors, and the objects themselves. This was a very thoughtful gift. As soon as I can justify, only to myself, beginning another pair of socks, I will be knitting one of the ‘child’s first socks’ in a greatly expanded version. Grumperina has made a beautiful pair, I’m in.
It’s been perfect ‘drying weather’. I’ve got the fourth batch of cleaned fleece drying on the deck in the sun. It’s taking freeking forever to get through. Either it is a very large fleece (it is) or I am doing WAY too many small batches (I am, obviously). No wonder the cats are freaked out and have sprayed the area where the fleece was residing in my office. Pretty smelly…. sheep urine, sheep poop, cat… I NEED to get this done.
what’s left to wash..
what’s washed, minus the load that’s drying
Something nice from my winter garden
Sara, you were right. It is a Dixon. It’s beautiful.

My orchid just bloomed (first time since purchase 2 years ago).
The fleece? It’s the process, right? This needs an ommmmmmmmmmm.
What a great pal you have!
Look at all that fleece! Yum!!
Yay! I’m glad you liked your gift. There’s more on its way…
Hope everything is going better out there, weather and otherwise.
Oh congrats on the wheel! I know you’ve been on the hunt – it is a beauty!!
You are so lucky! Great gifts. Beautiful flowers!
Even though I don’t envy all that fleece washing – what a wealth of …. sheepstuff. 😉
I’d love to see pictures or hear something about your central american textiles.
