Tatting I have a pile of Christmas things to do.  I am currently working Terry McGuffins (Teiko  Fujito inspired) Three color ornament.  Don’t forget the fun of blending threads together.  Imagine a great Hand-dyed with a blending filament from Sulky.  Yum 

Still have a few edgings to complete and a gift to self will be the new Christmas shuttle from the Shuttleshop.

On the needles the Strangling Vine Scarf from Nicole Hindes, the Riding on the Metro socks from Socks from the Toe up, and my first cardigan from Spring ‘09 Diminishing Rib Cardigan.  Wish me luck

Spinning some Ramboulet/Corriedale and just finished 8 oz of a yummy from Crown Mountain in Merino/Tencel (chantefleur)  Pics to come.

Enjoy and keep coming back!  Thanks for new listeners and the loyal few who listen…I love ya!!

Addendum…heard from Bonnie that the sounds was skippy in the episode.  I am going to try to retry tomorrow.  Had some difficulty uploading and had not listened to the final product…sorry. will try it again

Final note…I did re-upload the podcast and it is fine now…a bit rambly but…hey!  That’s ME!  Thanks again Bonnie for the FYI..Enjoy

Sunshine Makes me Happy!!

Yeah for the first campfire of the season
I finished Luna Regina after several months…almost a full year of work..primarily because I had a short attention span. The cats helped block it to make sure I did ok; that’s Lucky. I bought the blocking wires from KnitPicks http://www.knitpicks.com/Knitting.cfm. They also had a nice tutorial I just checked out to see. Common sense really but a nice resource. They were really fast at sending it out as well!
Tatting: Back burnered the doily “Cornelia” from Iris Niebach but will start it up again with the same thread because you all told me it looked ok in the vari-black! I will obey the “peeps” ’cause you all know best!!
Look at this edging…Isn’t it grreat! I love the Coron 120 (Japanese) and this is Fiordaliso http://lacis.com/catalog/graphic/in04.jpg, the book found at Lacis http://lacis.com/catalog/
Podcast #16 is being loaded. Hope you forgive me rambling on. I was in a really good mood so had to talk about it!! See/hear from you soon!!

Ya think it’ll float?, AND “cast 15!

Sounds like a David Lettermanhhhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qfBVw5Ilcctp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qfBVw5Ilccttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qfBVw5IlcWill it float Bradley is making a boat for the Pirates/Caribean theme for the Prom this year. We have threatened my DD that after it has been used at Prom we are going to take it for a “ride” down the Shenango River to see if it will float. DD gets in first then we see how far she can go. Seriously, I think the darn thing could float!\
He did not use any plans…just made it up in his head…A vVERY scary place, his head!
Episode 15 notes;
Where I talk about how great podcasters are. “cept me! Recorded the episode 3/28th.
Tidying up the basement…what a mess it gets to be! I am such a procrastinator it is revolting! I did find the photo’s don’t know why but they weren’t actually lost I just couldn’t find them? I was soooo happy to find DD #1 and her babies!! I had had such a nice pic I was sad to lost it!
The yarns I mentioned:
The blue is much darker in real life Jitterbug 118 and the purple is Socks that Rock Jubilation The others are the “ones that got away”…Cascade Yarns Pearls in 9843 purple. This is the one DD thought was icky and would net let me send to Darlene. Sorry Darlene!
And the manly colors from Panda wool that DH will never see! Ah well…they will look good on me!

I frogged my Luna Moth a month ago and am using the yarn for Juno Regina.  it is a beautiful stole that is coming along well.  I did finish sock RPM’s and Have finished one sock from Embossed leaves.  Wow is the toe of that one pretty!!  Like a….leaf!! Wow

Write me a note at gjdiwpx@aol.com for any ideas or suggestions.  I plan to edit this later to put in the locations of the patterns I am using.  Also at Arlenetats.blogspot.com.
