That’s the Hunger Games. On the iPad.
You know the brilliant thing about reading on the iPad…
If I prop it up, just so, I can knit at the same time.
This is the honey cowl. It is going to be for me. I think.
And, if the current reading pace keeps up, it’ll be done. Soon. Really soon. As will the trilogy.
I’ll be honest, most of my stolen moments are filled with making for the shop. Sketching, carving, dyeing, printing.
Today, for example, I sketched two new designs for custom orders. I dyed a batch of my delicious marigold. I did a whole whack of shop maintenance while tending the dye bath. I packaged a few orders and walked them to the post office.
It is good. It is really really good. And I am feeling so very inspired and excited. And I definitely have a creative outlet.
But sometimes it is so good to return to something old. Something familiar. Something non-shop.
Oh, spinning wheel. It has been too long.
This lovely bit of fiber was a gift from my aunts. Three different colors of natural, undyed, sheepy goodness. And how lovely they look all plyed together.
I have no idea what it wants to be when it grows up. For now, I am content with it sitting on my work table. Reminding me to take a break, now and then, and create for me. Create for us.
Oh, and with this fiber all spun up I’ve found myself in a situation I haven’t been in for years. I have NO fiber in my stash. None. Zero. Must be remedied.
