I have been wanting to write for a while, but have not been able to think of anything to say. That is strange for me, since I normally have lots to say. There has been a lot going on in the past several weeks, but most of it is a part of everyday living.
The weekend after my cousin died, which was Mother's Day weekend, we had a bit of a minor crisis. The water pipe leading to the refrigerator broke after the refrigerator was moved. it happened late Saturday night/early Sunday morning resulting in a minor flood in the kitchen and into the basement. Luckily for us were able to find an all night plumber who came and stopped the leak. The remaining plumbing repairs were completed after the weekend. We filed a claim with our homeowner's insurance and are going to have the final repairs made in the next few weeks. While we are waiting for the last detailsto be worked out, we are cleaning out the basement to make for some of the items that will be shifted around while the work is being done. It is a major task but is progressing quite nicely.
Since then, I have been busy finishing up a couple of projects which have been needing to be completed. One of them is the comfortghan for my friend who lost her son last year. It is almost done.There are less than ten squares remaining to be made before it can be assembled. Once it is finished, I will post pictures and share the pattern for the square.
A couple of years ago !I listened to the first one or two pod casts by David Reidy of Sticks and Strings. Life happened, and I lost track of it. In the past couple of months I have rediscovered it. Originally, I was going to listen to it while walking. That did not work out so well. Instead, I now listen to it and knit. It is much more enjoyable. I downloaded all the past episodes and am up to number 46. That only leaves 23 more to listen to until I am caught up. I enjoy his style and variety of topics. I know that there are other good fiber related pod casts available. It just happens that his is the only one I am listening to at the moment.
One thing is happening on the knitting front this week that is exciting. One of the Yahoo groups to which I belong The Cloth Of The Week, is celebrating its' First Year Anniversary starting July first. The owners, one of whom is Maile Mauch have some fun activities planned for the group. You can also learn more about the group on Ravelry if you arebelong there. This past year has sped by quickly with lots of learning taking place on my part. There is so much more to learn about and do with knitting.
Have a great week!
