This post was to be entitled: "My LYS is a Spindle," meaning that hand-spinning yarn gives more options than purchasing it ready-made. No need to run to the store when you run out of yarn. ("LYS" is knitters' talk for Local Yarn Store -- a wonderful resource and worthy of its own separate posts.)
If blogs are simply chronological logs of one's subject, I suppose redundant
images of half-finished projects, raw sheep locks, and wooden spindles
are permissible.
Today there are two fresh images: Blankets
for elephants and coleus plants raised from seed, now flowering in
decidedly non-tropical conditions. (The "blankets" are the best use yet for the dozens of test swatches lying around the house.)
