Time to get serious

I’ve spent too much time recently on simple projects and am up for a challenge. I took the plunge and ordered the Autumn Silk Cardigan from Ram Wools.  It’s a light weight lacey knit with a v-neck. Should look elegant in black Estelle Tussah Silk. And I ordered a Fiber Trends pattern – the Easy Lace Poncho, made all in one piece. I’ll reserve judgement on the easy part, it took me 12 hours once to sew a two hour pattern. I’ll use some Wool In The Woods I have in my stash – a slubby rayon in blues and rose. I exercised  some self control and ended my order there. There will be no more yarn shopping for a while. I mean it.

    Hi Li. Sorry to hear about the puppy. I saw a dog just like Gracie sitting in the center console of a car in Stamford. I, of course, thought of Gracie. Have a happy Thanksgiving. We are going to Tarreytown Tony’s sister’s house. Some nice cousins of Tony’s will be there also. I get to enjoy some time with my niece Olivia who is four and a half and who is the apple of my eye. We get along so well.

    I just realized Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October. Happy Belated Thanksgiving. Here is a trivia question. How come Squanto was the only Indian in his tribe who could speak English to the pilgrims. (He was the Native American that taught them how to plant corn by using fish for fertilizer.) Let me know the answer by e-mail.
