Sometimes, you simply can not beat the feeling of working a simple pattern with dreamy yarn and a set of knitting needles that glide through it like butter. That's how I felt with this project this morning. Knitting away while listening on a ZOOM call. Though it may sound counter intuitive, when my hands are occupied, I am a better listener. Stopping to take notes freely with no worries about losing my place.
This week's grocery store flowers. I am thinking tulips may be arriving soon for purchase? Or daffodils?
This came up while going though my email today ... the design, the colors, the shape... all wonderful. It has been placed in my Ravelry library. To one day be worked up, or not. Just looking at it is inspiring.
The French knots project surfaced this weekend as well, for a few moments of stitching.
I continue to come back to it. Knowing that one day it will tell me when it is complete and ready for framing.
There was also a lovely video chat today with my college friends. Brought about by Peggy texting us all this photo. Which led to comments about Annette's awesome hair, tap dancing, blue eye shadow, who was wearing whose blouse, and the dangers of wearing Candies shoes. All of which required further discussion
Lifelong friendship is a wonderful gift.
How about Sun-In, Love's Lemon Perfume and Charlie perfume? Looks like you had quite the posse?

So amazing to still be in touch with your college friends. The thing I miss most in my solitary old age is a sense of community, exacerbated by pandemic isolation. Fingers crossed things get better soon.

A lovely group of photos, but I'm most curious about that yarn. I don't think I've seen anything like it! Have fun.

Mary: Ann got it for me when she was in Australia. It's 100% baby alpaca and came from the Australian Alpaca Barn.

Leslie: I am with you on the "sense of community". I have enjoyed regular video chatting on ZOOM, FaceTime, or now facebook messenger. Especially for those far away. It has been a lifeline.
