YARN ALONG

 The days may not be so bright and balmy—
yet the quiet and melancholy that linger
around them is fraught with glory. Over
everything connected with autumn there
lingers some golden spell—some unseen
influence that penetrates the soul with
its mysterious power.

There has been a lot of

knitting in my days which

is always a good thing.

 

I turned the heels on my

Indian Summer Socks and

am working on the gussets.

 

I cast on to make my own

Tolt Folded Bag and hope

to line it with some pretty

fabric and add a leather

handle...I'll keep you posted.

 

I wanted to say thank you

for all your help to yesterday's

post. I now know that the

yarn is 3 ply, has 8 wpi and

has a stitch count of 18

stitches per four inches.

After winding up the hank

into two balls I am making

a guess that there is about

400 yards of aran weight

yarn to play with. Now to

find just the right pattern.

 

I am still reading What Alice Forgot

and while it started out with humor

it has now taken a darker, sadder

turn. Alice bumped her head and

has lost the last ten years of her

life, not remembering that she has

three children and is in the middle

of a nasty divorce. 

It has made me wonder how I would

react to not remembering the last

ten years of my own life, Oh dear!

a huge part of my life just gone.
