With thoughts, and occasional rants, on farm, family and crafting. Just to stay sane, I knit. A lot!

Happy "I Love Yarn Day"
"I Love Yarn Day" Yeah, there really is such a thing. In honor of the day, here is a bit of the stash to celebrate. The sorted leftover tubs, stacked on the left, and other tubs of yarn in the background. Those tubs have some of the well aged stash.
Some of the cones of yarn, mostly lace, fingering and lace weight---shawls and light sweaters waiting for the needles.
And then there is recently acquired skeins and cones. All with a purpose in mind. All just needing the time to be turned into pretty things.
Just like the Blue Blood Cardigan, Both fronts and the back done. And the first sleeve on the needles already, begging for more time.
Happy I Love Yarn Day, everyone. I think I'll go spend some time with my yarn.

Remember Me?
Yes, I guess it had been a while since I posted here. What can I plea as my excuse?
I was sick for a week. Not flu thank goodness, or the strep that is also making its rounds. Just an old-fashioned head and chest cold; which my boss shared with me, and I shared with the family.
Then there have been recurring bouts of sadness as I watch the country go to stack and ruin. Sigh.
But the knitting has continued well. I am hopeful of finishing the Green Romney Rib Waist Cardigan by the end of the month. If not ready to wear, at least it will be off the needles. I plan on finishing the first sleeve by Monday. That only leaves the second sleeve and sewing up.
I better dig out my books on finishing and sewing.
I have even finished winding four skeins for my next sweater.
