She
travels….extensively. At times by wheels, sometimes by wing, other
times by wave. She travels while she sits and knits, creativity
driving. Creativity inspired by mountain travel, memories, textures and
color, small towns, 5th Avenues and spring flowers. She travels…..light.
Light as the wind. With her backpack she is prepared to hike mountain
passes, climb the north face, and forge those rivers. Next week, she
will grab her Zucca on wheels and brave airport security flying to the
next big city. One thing remains constant. She always travels with a
Lo-Lo Body Bar. She knows while hiking, she won’t be bugged, and while
in the city, dry skin doesn’t have a chance.

This week we are reviewing Sock Yarn Studio
, by Carol SulcoskiStraw Into Gold:(39:27)
Gigi wound the yarn she spun and Jasmin plied onto the skein winder. And we used Tyvek wristbands
to label the skeins.Jasmin has been trying to spin on her Schacht wheel, with Genevieve on her lap. She thinks spinning unassisted on the mini spinner might be more productive.
And Sew On:(43:33)
Gigi did some mending, and cut fabric for a binding for a quilt. Also, Miss Kalendar came over, and cut fabric for blankets and sack gowns
I used to use the tyvek wrist bands to put on my kids ankles when we went out in a crowd. I put my phone. U ver on it so I could always be reached. I'm sure there are more elegant things out there to use as well.
ReplyDeleteI know that a very large baking contest uses the criteria that there need to be three significant differences in a recipe, compared to other existing recipes, for it to be called an original recipe. Sounds like your recipe has that.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in MA and as a child ate at the Toll House in nearby Whitman where the cookie was born.
ReplyDeleteI remember the large dining hall built around a tree whose trunk stayed long after disease took the tree.
