Adjusting The Sails Through The Storm

-
Adjusting the sails like crazy to keep up with the turbulent emotional winds, so no pithy commentary today. Just pics of finished projects to prove that I still exist:

Purple socks


I liked this Trekking XXL yarn a lot! It has every color in it!~

Here is a partial shot of a sock I am designing that incorporated beads and charms



The charm on the front says 'I (heart) 2 Knit' and has a little sheep







Design detail on the back of the ankle






UPDATE: Forgot these pics of my latest spinning. It's Blue-Faced but it spins up like buttery Merino!





And no post is complete without a gratuitous shot of my best friend and saving grace....

Mr. Ben

The beaded socks are to be worn with sandals, right? Very cool yarns!

Good thing Bently is a canine, as today is "no cats on the internet" day.

The charming beaded socks are so cute!

(Hope there's a lull soon in whatever emotional winds are buffeting you.)

Both socks look gorgeous! What the is color number for the purple Trekking XXL sock yarn? I really like those socks.

Always happy to have a photo of Mr. Ben to gaze at during my work day. Hopefully, he did not have too many wild parties while you were on vacation. Or at least cleaned up any traces of leftover bones and (doggie?) beer.

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
