The Charlotte Serenity screening, which was off, is back on again! And this time it’s only a couple of miles from my house! Yay!
Serenity Now!, knitting, weird foreigners, dead trees, and yummy whipped creamy goodness.

Persimmon tree and water bottle cozy.

May 23rd, 2006 2 comments

Remember my posts about the persimmon tree being spared from death? Well, this happened today.


That can’t be good.

On the knitting front, the new hot water bottle cover is going much better now that it’s not made from insanely thin sock yarn.


I had nearly an entire skein of Cascade 220 in purple leftover after the eye-searing felted bag I did for my kid’s teacher. The pattern calls for 190 yards of worsted wool (in other words, a skein of Lamb’s Pride worsted) so this is a good match.


I want to point out that nifty stitch marker! In fact it’s a row counter made for me by as part of her Fiber Godmother swap. As you work each round, you move to the next loop on the marker to keep track of your rows. So for me, I make the first loop my cable, then move to the next loop on four subsequent rounds, then when I’ve only got one loop left on the counter I move it back to the beginning and do another cable row. Makes it very easy to remember what row I’m on without having extra gadgets to keep track of.

Thanks, !

Jayne-wise, hats up next for Glasgow, New York, and Berkshire, UK.

And now, blueberry cornmeal muffins are cool, so I’m going to grab one! Yum!

DR weddings and teeny tiny yarn.
