I took this photo this morning in Rogue River. You see there is not an alpaca or donkey in sight! They all had sense enough to stay in the barn. It wasn’t exactly a blizzard and was already melting by the time Sis and I left for Medford to do some Christmas shopping but it [...]

It’s an FO! Here is my skirt. I knitted this on the ISM. Originally my pattern called for 6 gores but I ended up taking two of them out (I did swatch but obviously something went awry! lol)so it is four gores. It fits well and with the crocheted lace for the hem it hangs [...]

I wish I could show this picture “life sized”. Yeah, that’s Cori returning the tennis ball, but the real neat thing here is that the whole driveway as far as you can see is thickly carpeted with those caramel colored oak leaves. The colors in the yard are so beautiful. In June I think that [...]

The ample knitter’s have had a thread about sneaking yarn into the house because of family objections to stash. I don’t have to do that and here a bit of proof. Randy came home today with a surprise for me. He’d been in the Goodwill and made a “haul”! He paid $20 for all this [...]

Went out this morning and saw the sun shining thought the yellow tops of the cottonwoods. This picture doesn’t show how brightly they were glowing, really and the sickle of moon hanging above. Had to run get the camera. Well, Rosy and I are having a fiber day today and …maybe… I’ll have something to [...]
