Well, treasure, I have cast on and done the first 11 rows of the
shawl. Considering that this brings me to a grand total of 13
stitches, I haven't really done much, but it is a start, right? Did
you get it started?

This afternoon, treasure! veg
Noreen

who indulged in a little white zinfandel last night and stayed up much too
late, got up much too early and is truly enjoying caffiene this am.

I didn't have zinfandel, but I stayed up until the wee hours, and am
also
enjoying my coffee now - decaf, but at least it is hot! I plan to knit
a bit
after supper tonight, or maybe this afternoon. We'll see how it goes.

Hah. I had Guinness with dinner, port with dessert. This morning I
have french press coffee made with homeroasted single-origin beans
purchased from a VERY picky importer, and a little later I'll probably
pull a double espresso over a square of high-value chocolate.

What were you saying about caffeine?

hehehehe

Still spinning and knitting the Aran
Ignoring another sweater
Swatching for a third
Plugging away on the beaded silk shawl
Contemplating some laceweight alpaca/silk yarn for another Pi shawl

PADD? Me? Can't be!

Will you STOP talking about caffeine??? I gave it up, and every so
often I just HAVE to have some. I am weak, you know! I limit myself
to once a week, though, so that is not too bad.

Well, I gave up a lot of things in the name of trying to control my
blood sugar and my cholesterol without medication (so much for that).
I'm out of the habit now of eating a lot of things, and if I want to
booze it up I have to stop my meds for a couple of days and that's a
PITA since taking the stuff is an ingrained habit.

So really, the caffeine is about my only remaining at-will vice.

Still spinning

PS - I just roasted some Kenya AAA that smells delightful. I'll tell
you tomorrow how it brews up

Oh, please don't! Right now I would give just about anything for a
cup of good coffee!!!! Alas, having Meniere's plus hypertension
means that caffeine is VERY limited!

I don't think that it makes any difference with shawls.

I experience food vicariously these days: living on sprouts and
twigs leaves a lot to be desired so I hassle my friends for food porn
But I'll keep it to myself.

There are some quite decent decaf coffees out there these days, you
know. If you have a competent roaster in the area you might check into
getting some.

Oh, I get decent decaf coffees, but I still crave caffeine at times.
Food porn? I love it!!!!

Here is a link to it, Mirjam. I am using a blue yarn, called
Blueberry.
Lovely colour, and very soft.
