I finished knitting the Feza scarf and immediately decided to block it a bit so that it didn’t look quite so much like a red, green and orange rope around my neck. Here it is in it’s Soak bath. Here it is about halfway blocked. Here it is all pinned up. I didn’t go totally …
I keep trying to pack only to find myself stymied by the fact that I am going to need to wear/use some of the items that are still on the list in the remaining 10 days that I am here. I should be outside enjoying what little I have left of the lovely English summer except …
So, it is now really real. My travel plans are pretty much in carved in soap stone at this point. This means that they are booked but could change due to the varagancies of the Travel Gods. Or weather. I mean, it is autumn in the Midwest not exactly an area known for it’s weather …
Here is my shopping list for the US so far*: Kool-Aid Believe it or not they don’t sell this paragon of sugary virtue here at all. However, I don’t want it to drink, I want it to dye with as apparently it makes an excellent wool acid dye that doesn’t smell bad and it pretty non-toxic. …

So, I haven’t shown y’all a lot of what I’ve been doing of late and I think that it’s about time that I rectified that. First off, I finished the cabled embrace scarf. It turned out nicely but I was just sooooo glad for it to be done already! It wasn’t difficult once you …
Yesterday, the Hubby and I went to the Linslade Canal Festival. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different organizations that had stalls set up to educate the public as well as sell everything from alpaca blankets (no I didn’t get any even though it was a really good price) to food to …
The other night I was asked by someone at the Click and Clack knitting group that I was at what I missed about the US. The first thing that popped out of my mouth was, “parking lots”. Yes, parking lots. I know that that sounds kinda trite but it isn’t like I don’t miss my …
