"I wonder who is singing this song?"

"Better Than Ezra."

"Ok, so they are better than Ezra, but who is singing this song?"

"Better Than Ezra."

"Yes, I get that you think they are better than Ezra, now who is singing this song?"

"Better Than Ezra. That's the name of the band. The name is Better Than Ezra."

"oh."

Conversations...

Two men riding along in a car with a two-year old riding along in between them.

"I wonder who made that equipment?"

"I don't know, but I wonder that too."

"I know who made that equipment..."

two men now silent waiting for two-year old answer...

"God made that equipment."

two men still silent.

"yep, you're right, He did."

Conversations...

"I'm going to my friend's surprise retirement party."

"OMG! Does she know?!!!"

well at least its not a coffee cup office photo...

hello, finished knitting Moonraker and though I was tempted to do a coffee cup office photo, I refrained.

Its been bright and sunny here so I took an outside photo. There's actually a lady bug climbing up the middle branch although I believe at this point in the photo she's under a leaf. I was hoping to catch her in the photo too but it didn't happen, sigh.

Wedge Weave...

...in all it's brightness.

I am studying simultaneous contrast colours. You certainly notice all of the colours used.

I find it fascinating that if you take apart the two ply and mix the singles with other singles you can obtain up to 39 different colours. Truly fascinating to me. I am using 4 types of reds. 4 types of greens. 1 purple for the high contrast and 4 types of greys --- all light to dark except the purple.

Happy Weaving.
Good Day,

The rest of the story...art

...and gifted.

Good day.

Knitting...

Knitting a shop sample for an indie dyer. the pattern is Moonraker.


Its fun. I get my knit on. Don't have another shawl stashed away that I don't use. I didn't have to purchase and pay for the yarn or make the stressful decision about which colours to use, which gives me a migraine. I get to wear it until August and then must give it to the owner. All in all, a win-win situation.

I'm horrible with photos. Although I kinda like the "office" look below:

Ok, I realize that's just more proof against me, but...

Good day and happy knitting,
L

and now for the rest of the story...embroidery, knitting, felting...

here it is in all its gory...ahem, glory.

My "Mary Poppins" satchel done.

It's huge, it's big, and it's bright:

I have mixed emotions about it.
Happy knitting,

Have you ever noticed.....?

when you look down at your feet that your toes are all curled up in your sandals or shoes like they are gripping on for dear life just in case gravity fails and you're thrown off?

what does it mean?

I think it means you're stressed about something. You know, that something.

...or you need to change your diet. Too much caffeine?

Just a thought...

I think I'll change my diet.

Good day,
L
