Saturday a.m.

If you've ever seen small flags poking up out of the ground during
construction or surveying, that's what they're talking about.
Different colors represent different utilities and such (pink: boundary
lines, blue: water service, yellow: gas lines) so that the heavy
equipment doesn't accidentally rip something up and interrupt services.
The flags are a great idea, but the person using them would have to
know that there is the possibility that they could rust after time and
potentially stain the piece if stored in damp conditions.

That's what I love about this group..... this is the second great suggestion
I've received. I'll have to look up boundary markers, since I have no idea
what they are. Thanks so much!

Thanks very much - it's good to know. I think I'll be using the pins and
cotton method. Still a ways off though - just gotta keep grinding away at
the shawl.

Glad you got to hear the Yarn Harlot. Ranee and I saw her at the
Madrona Fiber Arts Retreat once and I have never laughed so hard. My
stomach hurt from laughing. She was terrific.

I agree. I have to start reading her blog more regularly, I think.

Higs,
Katherine

Did you read about her wedding and wedding shawl? - tear inducing I'll tell
you! You can find it in the archives, under the following dates:
Oct 2 and 5 - info on the wedding
Oct 20 & 24 - the wedding shawl - a thing of beauty


I saw her wedding shawl, live! She wore it to the presentation. It was
absolutely beautiful, and felt like gossamer. I even took pictures! g

Higs,
Katherine

Shelagh , since you spoke about bounderies ........
We have official boundry marks , and by law any building plan you have
should include marks to indicate where the official bounderies are on
the ground.
On the `ground` they are usually nailed to phone poles , Steady fences
[ like cement or stone walls] or even on the street walk . they look
like Big nails and have a number, that corolates with the UCP maps.
[U=urban C=city P=plans ] A bit OT but... interesting
By the way i have seen Plasic ribbons [that are used by builders] sold
in metters quite cheaply. And when one can buy only one color , one
could use the number system = one flag ribbon means X , 2 flag ribbons
mean Y ....You could also tear up some old used cloth into colored rag
ribbons .
