On the heels of my first seriously out of town show in awhile, I have landed back on snowless land intact. Our instant gift upon arrival —hugs and cuddles from our three fur children. Thanks Kim for keeping them alive in our absence. No small feat since two are elderly with a myriad of medical conditions.
Elated rather than tired, I headed to the studio immediately after a good night’s sleep. Jennifer surprised me by offering to go to the studio with one pit stop. We visited with Sheryl. OMG, I can’t remember the last time I laughed this much. Some of the humour, a bit twisted –granted, but so necessary. I need to make this more of a regular thing and find a way to get Pearl into the mix. Sheryl…..let me know when you are ready for another visit.
I had some hand spun alpaca resting in my bag and gave it over to Sheryl. I know how much she loves natural fibres and all the colours were undyed. I have access to the fibre in the studio and nothing would make me happier than spinning another pound of it. Sheryl then gave Jennifer some Madeleine Tosh that she had been coveting….Yummy – fabulous. Then back at the studio Jennifer hands me these.
Jenkins, hand make size 50 needles…Yes, 25mm…..I have been wanting these forever and have held off ordering them. It’s amazing how generous knitters are. Things are coveted, loved, passed on, treasured and then passed on again to be loved some more. I can’t think of any more generous group of people.
One word regarding an inadvertent give —- my brand new issue of Interweave that I left at JJ Beans ……boo…To the next knitter who picks it up, please knit something fun from it. I thought Mariegold took it, but I left it by the fireplace. Sorry Kim. I’ll pick up another copy for you.
