I really enjoy it when two very separate things come together. I have a bunch of stitch pattern books by Barbara G. Walker that are quite well known and very popular in knitting circles. When I was sorting books out for my recent book purge I ran across “The Woman’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets” and “The Secrets of the Tarot” also by Barbara G. Walker. I did a bit of internet digging and yes indeedy – they are the same person.
Two great tastes in one!

I am really hankering to make this lovely sweater. I am not hankering to pay 350 dollars for the yarn. Its made out of a lovely hand-dyed Silk/Merino/SeaCell yarn from Handmaiden called Great Big Sea it retails for oh . . . about $35 a skein and I MIGHT be able to get away with only using 9 skiens . . . Now I am off to see if I can find replacement yarn – Whee!!

I am having a blast playing around at Ravelry. I somehow got lucky enough to get high enough on the list folks asking for sign-ups that I got an invite about a week ago.

I work in Evanston, and play all over Chicago and the northern suburbs. I love being creative, and have a short attention span. Which means I tend to flit from one project to the next giving me lots of opportunity to try different types of arts and crafts. A partial list includes fabric painting, origami, beading (stringing and weaving), lampwork glass, [...]

Its amazing how a little plan change really can shake things up. To start this out, some of you may know that Erin and David (DS, and BIL) and nephew Rowan, are moving much closer to us v.v.soon now. It is less likely that you know that Erin is pregnant with “The Player to Be Named Later”. We originally had plans to go out and visit them all for Erin’s Birthday mid April. But then David got a job, and they bought a house, and David’s job starts in Champaign before mid April. So after a lot of uncertainty and [...]
