New Musings......

After blogging last night my Majacraft and Kromski let me know they felt slighted....so here they are.

These really are my two favorite wheels. They spin so smoothly. They are a joy to treadle and spin with. Just pure bliss! My 10yo daughter took the picture of my symphony and didn't think to clear it out of the view of the closet or chair so there would be a clearer view. I have it set up in my bedroom. I try to spin a little every night before I go to bed. My Rose stays downstairs. I have a jumbo flyer and bobbin for it so it is absolutely wonderful to ply with. I can get a full 8 oz. on a bobbin with the jumbo set. She's my travelling wheel too. I take her to guild meetings and on vacation.

Now for progress on my Pi....

I'm 15 or so rows into Clue 3. I have no clue if this is what it is supposed to look like or not....

This 3rd clue in the CYOAPi has totally challenged me. I'm sure it's probably not exactly like it's supposed to be, but I'm fairly new to knitting lace. It's definately been a learning project for me. I'm excited though...I think it will be beautiful whether it turns out perfect or not. Right now I'm just excited that I am ending up with the right number of stitches each time! HA! Thank the Lord for lifelines and stitch markers!!! Is anyone else working this clue? Is this how yours is turning out? I know mine is a little denser because I'm using my handspun yarn and it's not laceweight, but does it look approximately right?

Here's a closer pic....What do you think??? I think maybe I can see some buds and vines.....It is hard to tell since I can't really stretch it out on the needles.

On another note, tomorrow is Llama club. Mari and Katie are showing Llamas in 4H this year. This is a first for us. Here are some pictures of the girls with their Llamas from last week. There was also a new baby last week. Only one day old. He's adorable. I think the girls said he was going to be named either Bandit or Zorro. Very appropriate given his markings...

Isn't he precious! I want a farm.

This is Katie with her llama Patriot. They were working on harnessing and leading the llamas last week. Good job Katie!















This is Mari with her llama Tatoka (?sp). I guess he can be a little fireball sometimes, but he is so loving....Just a llama with ADD....Gee, I wonder if they have Ritalin for llamas????












And this is why I've had so much time to blog, clean, organize, knit, etc....Yesterday and today....Emma is with her big sister Danielle for a few days. They will be home sometime tomorrow....So much for the organization, clean house, and knitting time......Can't you just see the oneryness in those eyes????
