Monday Makes: Handkerchief skirt for SWAP 2016

I did it! Not the sweater, that's still languishing on my needles, but I do have a good start. The skirt, however, I did complete along with it, and I actually kind of love it. Comfortable, pretty, a little bit bohemian/wild/movement. So, not half bad. I considered dying it, and maybe I shall at some point. Not today! It is a lovely wool crepe I got in a mystery bundle, sight unseen, so it's a bit of a weird green, definitely not olive, but surprisingly close to the lighter wool yarn color, so I think it will look nice. I hope. The fabric moves very nicely.

Voila!

The Gateway to the West

When family came from out of town, we got to take in the arch like a bunch of tourists! "Where are you folks from?" "St. Louis!" "Well, thanks for visiting!" 

Monday Makes: Spinning a Yarn, er Knitting some yarn.

So, this has been flying off my needles all last week. I've used up three balls of light green wool-ease and half a ball of dark green lace alpaca. The things last forever. Also, been working on the pondsy scheme. A bit sick about it. I don't like techy things with moving parts. Makes me queasy.

Anyway, The sweater!

It would look nicer if I didn't have so many spots on my computer screen. I should do something about that.

Happy April! It's going to be a good month. Today I start a quick draft of Wilds Part 3, right after I finish Butcher Baker, which is going ridiculously slowly, like I'm trying to make it perfect or something. Such an intruder on my brain.

Oh! My husband, he's a genius, brilliant fellow and has suggested that we collaborate and write a werewolf book together. I want quirky, really, really quirky. We'll see if anything comes of it. I'm not sure I know how to collaborate. Something to do with communication skills. I suppose I should develop some of those at some point in my life.
