Giant Cakes

Wound a few of the new yarns, it certainly gave the Jumbo Ball Winder a work out.

 

 

Flock Foto

I have been trying to get a group pic of the Band-tailed pigeons. They are so skittish especially when they are on the ground. I finally managed (on two different days) to get a few pics looking down at them from the upstairs window.

 

 

 

Strolling About

We stopped by Atascadero Lake for a couple of laps again - sadly no frozen yogurt - but we were treated to other things instead:

Fishing in the lake and

 

 

a Wood Duck pair strolling down the path,

 

  

stunningly beautiful.

 

Two Laps

A nice walk on a cool day, two laps around Atascadero Lake,

 

 

and a frozen reward before heading back home.

Not Willy Nilly

The Man spent the weekend in Ventura providing me with uninterrupted time to delve into a new project. I reached for the Mirrix Saffron loom.

 

 

It's been over two years since I started the tapestry sampler on the little loom. I didn't get very far before I stalled so instead of resuming the sampler I put a new warp on and started from scratch.

 

 

It did not take long before I remembered that tapestry weaving requires concentration, thought, and planning. I am glad I warped for a wee sample, only 3" x 3".

 

 

It is slow-going.

SLO Skate Park

Today The Man and I took a stroll through Santa Rosa Park and stopped to watch the skateboarders.

I happened to look up and noticed the public art. Of course, the letters drew me in.

Musty Balls

From a recent Guild Pass-it-Forward event I brought home several bags of old, ahem, vintage wool yarn for Charity knitting.

 

 

 

 

The yarn is clean but musty smelling and in need of a good bath. First, though, the yarn balls and cakes need to be skeined and tied before it can be washed,

 

 

 then in hot soapy water it is carefully soaked so as not to full or felt the wool yarn.

 

 

  

Refreshed: vintage wool yarn,

 

 

good as new.
