Man, these are fast! I bought the yarn Friday, cast on same day, and finished knitting them Tuesday. Last ends woven in yesterday, in line at the hospital pharmacy, waiting with a patient. Yes, I washed them. I suppose I could call it wet-blocking, but it’s really washing, followed by blocking. [...]
Hello there!
This is officially Crazy Week.
Not counting the weather, which went from excruciatingly hot to suddenly cold over the weekend. Naturally, I wore sandals and short sleeves yesterday. Today I’m wearing wool socks and long sleeves. Guess which day was warmer?
And it smells like campfires since Saturday or Sunday, and [...]
It fits great! Except it’s not for me, but my five year old. I’m not really interested in a big orange sweater, even with the lovely cables and the good fit. (though it could go nicely with the new glasses I picked out today)
So,
Nearly two whole skeins. I’m glad I checked [...]

Cell phones are only as good as someone answering the other side! Luckily, it was chilly and windy, so my husband and son stayed outside for just a bit (a very long bit, [...]
But isn’t everybody the Monday after spring time change?
Ah! The weather is beautiful! The kid and I went on a walk Saturday (instead of going to the yarn store or the book store or the bakery or any number of money-needed places) after lunch at Sparky’s.
After the PG&E guy looked at our meter and circuit breaker [...]
Sapo verde to me

One of these days, I’ll get the pictures off the camera, and one or two into the blog.
Foggy yesterday, cleared out enough for a beautiful sunset. The kid said it was desert with water. The trees’ silhouettes black against the sky were better than the best [...]
Saturday afternoon, driving onto the Richmond Bridge from Marin.
It was Mema’s birthday, and I visited for her birthday and to gather some signatures. When she spoke to my aunt by telephone, she told my aunt, “A neighbor is here helping me with business.” (I was happy to be seen as helpful, rather than meddling.) But [...]
