Last week, Elina and I went shopping for gloves. I’ve never worn gloves in BC and always seem to misplace my one pair prior to visiting colder climates. I tried on about 30 pairs before we found a display of reasonable priced suede gloves in wonderful colours. I think it was a lavender pair that felt as if there was some sort of loss prevention device inside the glove. I pulled off the glove to discover a gold cocktail ring sitting nicely on my middle finger. "What is that?" said Elina. "I think I stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plum," said I. I reported it to the mall lost and found and placed a found ad in the paper with no responses to date. One theory is that the ring is so ugly that the person would rather collect on their insurance rather than claim it. I just can’t help but think that someone must be missing it. We had fun fantasizing about melting it down into something else a bit prettier, but I feel like I’d be melting someone’s dreams away. For now it will sit patiently awaiting a call from its owner.
Things seem a little calmer on the kid front. I’ve been knitting away on my Manos scarf and it really does calm the brain and the nerves. The herringbone rib has a nice rhythm to it.
Here is the almost finished product from last Saturday’s watercolour class:
