Honing My Post Apocalyptic Skills

Finished my second basket. The rim looks wonky in this photo because there are built in handles on either end.







See? (Be kind. I'm learning.)










Next in rotation is spinning. I'm going to get started on the confetti/camel rovingI got at A-Z Farm. Then after that's done, sweater knitting. So, to recap, I spin, I knit, I make baskets and I cook. Surely to goodness some post-apocalyptic clan will take me in after some ninny with a nuclear bomb gets trigger happy?

Apparently there's a guy across the street( who's 'out standing in his field'...Get it?!?!?!) who can make fire. Maybe I should befriend him? Now all we need is a hunter and a gardener and we'll be good to go.

I kept a close eye on the fire starter this time. A couple of weeks ago he nearly burned down the neighborhood across the way by insisting on burning a field when we had 40 mph winds. Seems he didn't learn his lesson since we have tremendous winds again today and he's out there flinging the matches around all crazy like. Again. I didn't say he was smart...("Ugh. Make fire. Ugh.") just talented in the fire making department. At least this time, it was close enough to home so I could have sent my one-dog-drooling-fire-brigade out to staunch the flames if things got out of hand. All I would have had to do is give Fire Guy a tennis ball and send Ben over. Thankfully it didn't come to that.

Off to sit and spin! Have a good evening!
