Is everybody busy outside?
It's raining here (but badly needed), so I can't really complain. I've started some tomato plants which I will set outside in approximately 3 weeks, and have planted two rows of peas. I have golf on TV (love it), and will likely spend the evening knitting on socks and a shawl. What's happening with the rest of the RCTY world??? Shelagh |

Hi Shelagh!

I took the oppotunity to wash some fleece and I've been carding like a demon (though it doesn't feel as if I'm getting through the stacks to be done very fast). I'm motivated to get through my currently unprocessed fleece as I've just purchased some more (which I most deifnitely wasn't supposed to do). $5 for over a kilo of merino - how is a girl supposed to resist that! weeks, and have planted two rows of peas. Fresh peas - divine. Puts me in mind to sow some more myself. Have a great weekend. VP |

Trying to finish a baby blanket before the new arrival gets here!
The new arrival will belong to a young man at work and his wife, not to me! Also have sifted through the sock yarn stash a gazillion times but can't seem to decide on a particular yarn or pattern. I'm leaning towards a shell stitch and one of the self striping yarns. Or maybe a sock pattern a friend sent me with one of the pretty solid coloured Wensleydale wools she also sent ( she sent me 8 balls of different colours! ).......or maybe that new vividly coloured Trekking yarn that just came out: got one with shades of greens and burnt oranges. Would also like to try one of the new Tofutsies yarns that I bought recently, have the bright pink, the bright rainbow stripey one and the other ball has pinks and greens varigated. I feel like I need to grow a few extra pairs of hands so I can knit them all at once LOL . Marie and the cats On May 5, 4:51 pm, "Shillelagh" wrote: Is everybody busy outside?

What's happening with the rest of the RCTY world??? I had my vernissage yesterday (Sat.) and SOLD 2 ARTWORKS already!!! Yes, I am one happy Erin today, oh yeah baby!!! :-) I think I posted a while ago about making these: http://www.quiltingarts.com/qamag/treasures.html but using felt I made from merino wool instead of from quilted fabrics. Anyway, I used several different shades of wool and then added decorative yarns using my Babylock Embellisher machine. Then I sewed on beads for highlights. I sold one of these yesterday to an art teacher who teaches at the local gymnasieskola (like a high school in U.S.). I also sold a small quilted wallhanging that I had decorated with beads and copper wire. I've only been showing my work for about 5 years (although I've sewn, embroidered, etc for almost 40 years) and I feel like last year was the first year people started really *getting it* about my work. I use traditional techniques but with a modern twist and I think some older people found that confusing. Erin |

Shelagh Shelagh, I was ready to ask the same question, postings have been slow. Hope all is ok with every one. I just finished the knit afghan for the needy in Rockford, IL the local group supports. It takes a long time to knit an afghan that has a pattern in it. I will get out the USM or crochet the rest. I can now finish Ava's pink socks I started over 6 weeks ago. I have noticed our group here get very slow in the summer months, they must have a few good summer activities. That is how the last several summers have went. Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail |

I spend 2.5 hours a day in class, and another 3 - 6 hours doing homework and studying. I am not knitting very much at all. :-( Higs, Katherine |

... Good morning all , looking from the window i first thought the whole country mopoved to North Europe , Gray clouds Rain , Greener than usual leaves ????????????? cold ,,,,,,, HALLOO This used to be Asia ???? where is my sun , my warmth ????????? Global weather changes abound, huh? We've been having a mixture of weather here. Hot and dry one day, then damp and cold the next. The other day it was really cold in the morning, then suddenly within about an hour it had become really hot and humid... later that day just after supper we had massive thunderstorms that looked like tornado weather. In fact yesterday on the way home from the hospital (nothing serious, just my yearly checkup on my Barett's Esophegus to make sure no cancer has set in) Matthew and I passed by a field that had nine hydro poles (with power lines still attached) laying down... very weird. No wonder people are getting sick, they aren't sure how to dress. Cat refuses to go out , i opened the door he looks at me with this `YouGo if you want to get Your paws wet .!` LOL I really had a good laugh at that. My dogs give me the same look when I try to get them to go outside in the rain. 'Yeah, I don't think so! I'll just stay right here inside where it's dry thank you very much!' Besides this we make preparations for an Knitting Exhibion in September , text is ready most works have been seen or discussed , more details will come ,,, i am now knitting the text [ names in Hebrew and English ] that i hope to turn into the Invitation picture as well as use as part of a display i prepare ,,, You certainly are a busy lady, Mirjam. ) *hugs* Gemini |
