Yopping Update # 12 - Cables and cable and cables, oh my.
I finished my socks and they have been on my feet all week:
My husband likes them so much I have cast on another pair for his hobbit feet (large, not hairy).
I have finished section four of Bonnie's Wish, and I have started on the border - all 616 rows of it!
That is a s#itload of cables!
I went to a textiles show on Friday with a friend and it was interesting and inspiring, but at this point in my life I am happy to stick with knitting and spinning and leave the quilting and sewing for others who are soooo talented and creative.
However next weekend is KnitCity and I am sure I will be uber inspired and probably make a few purchases there. Stay tuned.
My son found this picture downstairs while he was visiting last week. I think it was one my daughter took of a mural on the east side of town.
It is now the wallpaper on my phone. It speaks to me. Loudly. And my son says the character with the words on her t-shirt looks like me.
Kismet.
I hope you can 'Let Go' this week. It will be my mantra for some time.
