Fledgling Spinner

There is a quiz for everything now:

34 As a 1930s wife, I am Poor Take the test!

I think I scored poorly based purely on my politics and lack of cooking skills.

At least I can knit like it’s 1930 but with all the fun colors of the 2000s as well as internet patterns. I can’t remember what it was like when I couldn’t find instructions for spinning a certain way or a fiddly pattern or video for long tail cast on in a matter of minutes. I think that may have been why so many women had stitching circles or knitting clubs – > access to materials and inspiration.

Ahead of the holidays, I always want to get my rear in gear to finish a few things and maybe make some warm or fuzzy presents. This year isn’t shaping up to be as productive as I imagined. I did do some felting of veins on the dumpling eye bag just to see, pictures forthcoming. I am also motoring along on a pair of tall socks for a friend, pictures too boring,  will model when complete.

Other than that, I am looking forward with no small amount of delight to the December Phat Fiber box since I did send in a few of my Caution: Live Yarn stitch markers. I had the greatest support for small sample boxes and was over the moon with how they turned out. I am happy to get the chance to be a “phattie” and hope that people like my little clay monsters as much as I enjoy making them. I have another surprise coming soon in the mail that I can’t wait to show but in the spirit of the holidays, I will keep it quiet ’til I have it in hand and then readers will get to see a treat. Until then, I should go draft some more of that Tuscany – one more braid to go!
