Victorian Side Chair

Here’s my kitchen spider:

 

This spider has been living outside my kitchen window all summer.  At first he seemed all cute, small and innocent, but look at him now!  He practically needs his own zip code!  I don’t know what to do now.  I can’t kill him, I’d just like someone to come and relocate him to Mexico or something.  Anyone?…

Finger Troubles!

Well, I fell the day before Christmas Eve and caught myself on the doorway, and jammed my pinky. It really hurt, but I was in a hurry and didn't do anything but put ice on it for a little while. So by the next week after new years, it wasn't feeling better so I finally went to the emergency room and got it x-ray'd. Sure enough it was broken and the tendon was flayed back from the bone. Now I'm in a splint for the next 8 weeks with stern instructions to not bend it for 1 second otherwise I'll have to start over for another 8 weeks. Unfortunately, I am not able to knit at the moment. I'm hoping that when the pain lessens a little I"ll be able to, but for now, I am knit-free.

An acutal FO

I know it's been too long, but I have an actual Finished Object! It's a simple vest, but I sewed seams and picked up stitches and everything. The yarn is Noro Kureyon, but I forget the colorway. I have so many UFO's, I'm excited to finally finish one!!

MD Sheep and Wool

Tomorrow is the MD Sheep and Wool Festival. I'll try to remember to take the camera!

Flower Basket

I've started the Flowerbasket shawl. So far I'm enjoying it, but my mind is having trouble. I just had to tear back 10 rows to my lifeline. I swear I'm focusing, and I still end up with the wrong # of stitches.
