Not much

Sorry I missed posting yesterday. The day rather got out of control. I’m not altogether sure how, nor what all I did, but before I knew it Dave was coming home and I hadn’t posted a thing yet. Gads. This morning I’m posting a bit earlier than I often do, to ensure you have something to read.

Thank you all so much for the nice comments about my edition of Yarnival! I had a lot of fun looking at everyone’s posts, and putting this issue together. I wish I could take credit for coming up with the idea, but it was Eve’s brainchild. Every month there’s a new editor. If you want to edit an upcoming issue, be sure to let Eve know using the email link in her sidebar.

I spent a week in Seattle, Washington once, on business, and fell in love with the city. It’s small, friendly, and has fabulous restaurants. Never mind that I love the weather up there. And these days it has enough yarn shops to to a crawl this weekend. Man. I wish I could go! If you’re up in the Puget Sound area and you go on the crawl this weekend, think of us poor slobs who live too far away to come out and play. Drat.

I’ve made a little progress on my second Forget-Me-Not sock. Sorry the first one isn’t here for the photo shoot. I’m too lazy to go get it. It’s upstairs waiting for Kristie to arrive… I have finished the gussets, and am working my way down the foot toward the toe: the home stretch.

It happens even to the best readers from time to time… you close the cover on the book you’re reading and discover, to your horror, that there’s nothing else to read. Either there’s nothing in the house, or nothing you’re in the mood for. Just, nothing that clicks. What do you do? How do you get the reading wheels turning again?

I usually wander the house aimlessly until I either: a. grab a random book off a shelf and start reading, b. ask Dave for suggestions, or c. go to bed in disgust, without a book, because there’s nothing to read in this house.

    Laura, Seattle is a nice-sized city. Very livable. We do have a wealth of LYSs. Someone from The Yarn Stash on Camano Island was at the Seattle Guild meeting last night to say they were left off the map. That would make 21 stores within an hour’s drive of me. I’ve been to 8.

    I’m missing the crawl this weekend but have a good excuse. I’m doing 7 workshops over the next 4 days with Sally Melville. They’re sponsered by Churchmouse Yarns on Bainbridge Island.

    Seattle is a beautiful place! I wouldn’t mind living there but I think they are tired of Californians coming into their territory. LOL

    Booking Through Thursday - I have wandered aimlessly a time or two also when I’m between books. It tends to make my husband anxious though and so I try not to do it too often.
