Weekend Companions

September 18, 2006 By Carole

I had a lot of time to myself this weekend since Dale was either at a reenactment or working for most of the time. However, while I may have been by on my own, I was not alone. I had companions of the fiber-y sort.

Nothing completed but everything worked on a bit. All in all, not a bad weekend.

    You got a lot done! The shawl is really pretty. I haven’t tried lace yet but I’m looking forward to it after I’ve finished my magic loop socks, my baby sweater and a pillow cover for Brie.

    September 19, 2006 at 6:21 am

    Hard to pick a favorite. Lovely spinning. And, of course, your usual beautiful knitting. I keep thinking of your LeafLace, as I knit slowly on mine.

    What a great weekend!

  36. Lolly says

    September 19, 2006 at 11:29 am

    All of it is SO pretty, C! I love the sock. Can you tell I have socks on the brain? 😉

  37. Birdsong says

    September 19, 2006 at 3:42 pm

    Everything is yummy; the moth is going to turn into one of your most-worns, I’m thinking. The spinning has wonderful potential, the colors are so peaceful.

  38. Teyani says

    September 20, 2006 at 12:00 am

    oh my my – that shawl is fabulous! I think that you must have the patience of a saint to knit it,.

  39. Marcia says

    September 20, 2006 at 2:18 pm

    As a recent Flower Basket flunk-out, I hate you for that shawl. Love the singles yarn, though!

True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
