YARN ALONG

In creating, the only hard
thing is to begin: a grass
blade's no easier to make
than an oak.

~James Russell Lowell

 I learned a lesson this
week that I will not soon
forget, when you have
had only three hours of
sleep in 48 hours, do not
knit or have any liquids 
near you project. I made several
errors in my Sunday Sweater
then spilled an iced tea latte
all over my yarn leaving it
a wet, sopping mess...
I frogged the whole thing, but
I didn't cry so I am pretty
proud of myself.

To over come the trauma
from the whole ordeal, I
took myself to the LYS and
bought some new needles
before casting on a new
sweater. Susanne's Ebony needles
are made from wood salvaged
from a piano manufacturer.
The needles were a little rough 
at first so I rubbed a little
spoon oil on them, buffed well
and now they not only feel great 
in my hands, they knit like a dream.

I cast on another Sunday Sweater
using yarn from my stash in the
color Beach Glass. Things are
going much, much better now,
I've had some sleep, and
am keeping all drinks away
from my knitting.

For reading I am still soothing
my soul with Universal Father.

Much love,
