friday mittens for me posted on november 6 2015 8 comments of course i finally got back to blogging at a time of year when most of my knits aren t bloggable of course but this project isn t secret hooray i finished these mittens for me in february pattern midlothian mittens by laura chau my project page yarn the pink is handspun bfl silk the cream is fisherman s wool and the lining is reclaimed cashmere they sat unblocked for many months mainly because i didn t want to go to the hassle of making forms to block them on but i recently saw them again right next to the sock blockers i acquired this year and a lightbulb turned on the tops of the sock blockers are just the right shape for these the thumbs went without a form but i think it s ok i ll be able to wear them instead of them sitting and waiting for who knows how much longer i maybe should have made them just a tad shorter i charted and added my initials and the year on the inside of the right wrist for posterity i love the idea of signing my knitting i don t even know if i ll like wearing mittens i m a glove person i think but this will give me the option and they re very warm and soft do you wear mittens what have

reading picture books in our hands posted on november 2 2015 7 comments i experienced something new last week the online library system said i couldn t reserve any more books because i d reached my 25 book limit that reminds me i wasn t quite able to reserve all i d wanted to when i hit that limit but since we just picked up holds there s room lemme go rectify that done we ve been working our way through the slj s top 100 picture books and i reserved the next chunk of them that are available at our library we re more than half way through that list and i ve added a few other lists to what i m keeping track of in terms of picture books let s see i m tracking caldecotts and 1001 children s books you must read before you grow up my son was so excited to pick up this huge stack of books there were a few for me there too whenever we get new library books they re the most interesting thing in the world to him i anticipate i ll be reading aloud most of the day today as long as my voice can hold out i ve got a cold of some kind have you read any of these picture books what are yours or your children s favorite picture books have you worked through book lists like this how do you decide what books to bring home 7 comments posted in books children s picture books tagged nablopomo reading nablopomo posted on november 1 2015 14 comments i offhandedly asked on twitter a week or so ago is nablopomo still a thing today being november 1 i went in search of the answer to the question and while the official twitter account for the event is dormant fallow since 2011 november 8 they didn t make it very far into nablopomo did they the answer is yes the event lives on and here i am posting maybe i should take a step back you know that november is national novel writing month aka nanowrimo yes the event has daughtered spin off events galore national knit a sweater month which i participated in last year and national blog posting month which i took completed in 2012 i miss blogging and there s lots i could talk about i still sometimes find myself composing blog posts in my head i m not officially committing but i want to take a swing at it nablopomo 2015 can i do it will you join me 14 comments posted in blogging wordlily tagged nablopomo books that have had the most impact on me posted on september 18 2014 12 comments back in december when the current meme of top ten most influential books was going around facebook for the first time i made a list but never got around to sharing it i was just tagged this time it says top ten favorite books but since i struggle so with choosing favorites even in multiples i m going forward with the initial idea so i m sharing now this is the list i jotted down in december 2013 so it naturally doesn t include any book i ve read since then and if i wrote it today it might be different but ella minnow pea by mark dunn war peace by leo tolstoy traveling mercies bird by bird by anne lamott dakota by kathleen norris anne of green gables by lm montgomery 1984 by george orwell redeeming love by francine rivers the manual of detection by jedediah berry the shadow of the wind by carlos ruiz zafon the reluctant prophet by nancy rue a star curiously singing by kerry nietz cs lewis space trilogy the screwtape letters i m not tagging anyone because i m not that kind of person but also because i think nearly everyone has already done this i d love to see your lists though 12 comments posted in books wordlily tagged book list meme reading top ten the catch by taylor stevens posted on september 2 2014 4 comments i loved the informationist i read and loved the innocent and the doll so it s no surprise really that taylor stevens s latest the catch was another winner for me for one thing i love the specific countries of africa that we get to know a little and stevens s treatment of them in this book and the informationist we don t get a generic setting or a generic africa we get specifics and distinguishing characteristics while still acknowledging that some overriding truths do apply across the board for another i love the role language and languages play mostly i just love michael munroe the catch wasn t as jaw dropping as the informationist or the doll though i think the factors that make me respect the catch the most are the same things that make it not as much of a thrill ride as the earlier installments of vanessa michael munroe books michael is healing you see as the series has progressed she s becoming more in control of herself she ll never be normal normal is a fallacy anyway but she s getting much closer to that than she was when we met her in book one this is a very good thing stevens has allowed her protagonist to grow in a logical and believable way but i m afraid it s also a bad thing will this be the end of the series will we as readers never again get to watch michael work simply because she s more capable of dealing with her past than she used to be this installment because of the character s growth is much more character driven than previous books were but again this is something i like in a book yes even in a thriller the world still has a place for someone with michael s skills i certainly hope the book world still has a place for her too i may be better at delayed gratification than i used to be but i m not perfect there s still plenty for me to learn and do perhaps that s an appropriate corollary i guess we ll have to wait and see do you like character driven books have you ever read a book where character growth made said book unpalatable other

vanessa michael munroe tour de fleece 2014 posted on august 8 2014 7 comments i got a late start on tour de fleece this year because i was working nonstop on a demanding knitting project with a severe deadline so my tour was actually six days shorter than it should have been but i still got in on some of the fun i started with this gorgeous bit of spunky eclectic bfl in the friends forever colorway want a closer look ok my first time chain plying since 2010 and it might be that long again before the next time i dont find it enjoyable but i m happy with this yarn all 320 sport weight yards of it this yarn is made from domestic wool mill ends that i dyed and carded on my drum carder aran weight 108 yards pre wash 51 grams here s the project page for the above yarn this yarn was also spun from domestic wool mill ends that i dyed and then carded i added just a touch of sparkle on the drum carder on this one too dk weight 51 grams yielded 139 yards of 2 ply the color is more accurate in the in progress pre plying photograph i m really happy with this yarn it s falkland dyed by cosy fingering weight 2 ply 560 yards from 112 grams this one is also falkland from cosy aran weight 112 grams and 232 yards i got the singles of another 4 ounces of this same fiber done during the tour but i couldn t fit the plying in before it ended so totals five finished skeins all 2 ply except the one chain ply totaling 1 359 yards and about 1 pound plus the 4 ounces of singles spun but not plied i ve certainly made more in previous tours but given my late start and my intentional tapering toward the end i m content with my production do you make any of your own crafting supplies how far back to the source do you go to see what other people are up to in the fiber arts world this week check out fiber arts friday at wisdom begins in wonder 7 comments posted in spinning tagged fiber arts fiber arts friday finished object friday fo friday hand dyed handspun tdf14 tour de fleece yarn handspun socks posted on july 25 2014 18 comments i thought about posting my spinning from tour de fleece but since there are just a couple days left and i haven t posted any of it yet it felt a bit odd that ll wait until next week instead today for your fiber arts enjoyment i present a pair of socks these socks i knit from my own handspun yarn a true 3 ply spun from spunky eclectic club fiber wensleydale kentucky derby colorway i spun the yarn in 2010 i believe the socks on a plane pattern is simple and sweet and it was a good fit for this yarn more notes i modified it thus co 20 increased to 60 around this yarn is a tad thicker than normal fingering if i was making them again i d probably move the cable panel a stitch or two maybe just 1 in this yarn farther in from the side of the sock i had 11 grams of yarn left over when i finished so not much more details on my ravelry project page i like how the cable panel runs all the way to the top of the sock through but not disrupting the ribbing my only complaint isn t really about the yarn or the pattern i ve got to figure out the best way to accommodate my high arches in toe up socks so what have you been making lately see what
