Socks To Go

Cast on a new pair of socks with Regia yarn, "Happy in Pink" colorway.

 

 

This new pair will accompany me tomorrow to the Guild SLO meeting so I can keep my hands busy knitting - around and around - while I enjoy this month's presentation:

 

“SAKIORI WEAVING” with Amanda Robinette. Sakiori (which simply means ‘rag-
weaving’) was a technique practiced by the Japanese peasant class for 200 years.
For cultural and environmental reasons, they developed this art to produce warm
clothes, not rugs as is more typical in the Western style of rag weaving. This talk
will explore how to implement Sakiori techniques to produce practical, beautiful
results.

On the Couch

 Sitting on the couch, reading an e-book. No pic taken. Gotta go.

Best Case Scenario

I stand well away from the water spray and stinkiness emanating from the open hole of the septic. The dirty water has begun to slurp down the filter-less pipe, flowing onward to the leach field.

The Man holds up the slimy blackened septic filter and says, "When you see water coming out from under the septic cover the best case scenario is a clogged filter".

I look at my husband. He's wearing safety glasses, an N-95 mask, work coveralls, and rubber gloves that covers his arms entirely, almost to his arm pits.

I nod. Yeah, you're right.

 

   

 

Sit 'n Knit

Sitting in the sun, knitting dishcloths from a giant ball of Lily Sugar 'n Cream bits and bobs yarn is a good way to end the day.
