Alluring Materials

Sometimes that's why I keep this up, the materials are so attractive. This week, I'm warping 30's/2 silk:

30-2 silk

Also spinning some Blue Faced Leicester, dyed months ago (here), and needing a little pre-drafting, but then spinning up like butter:

Listening to books on tape (Falling Angels by Tracy Chevalier this week: quite the Victorian Novel), and watching the rain, hail, and even yet more snow this morning.

But I'm snug and warm, the materials are delightfully tactile, and with hot tea and a book on tape, what could be better?

  2. That silk is gorgeous - so fluid. What's it going to be? Wedding shawl?

    Are those your high speed bobbins?

  3. Um, it was almost 60 degrees and sunny here today. Maybe 70 degrees and sunny on Friday.

    Just sayin'.

    But the tea and the book and the silk still sound delightful.

  7. A young woman
    Sits by a swimming pool
    Painting her toenails.

    It is midnight.

    She wonders
    Whether it is possible
    To foretell the future
    Using an avocado pear.

    Her husband brings her
    An avocado pear.

    This is strange.
    The young woman
    Has no husband.
