The fall is definitely here, cooler weather and the fish and chips closed for the season...
So the alpaca I washed 2 weeks ago called to me today. Rain outside, feeling slightly sickish, probably a sequel to the very busy summer, I decided to stay in all day and spin.
This fleece is sooo beautiful that I actually took the time to wash, tease and card... There it is 1 rollag, lofty and soft ready to spin. I got 9 done and proceeded to spin 3. It is now drying in the bathroom, tomorrow I want to knit a hat...
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.
I am French, I knit, I live on a small island in BC Canada, 1 husband, 2 kids, various pets, love cooking. I have been using my hands ever since I can remember and always go back to knitting. Some people have to touch earth to feel centered I have to “make”. I knit, I spin, I dye, I bead, I experiment all the time, basically my most used phrase is;”I want to make that” but I still have not blown glass…soon….The Knitting is my most constent work, relaxation, obcession, maybe a living someday. I am a great researcher and always get inspired by the never ending onslaught of books, magazines, net and friends.
