Northumbria Fingering, 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool, in the color ” Beachglass “.
How can one stray toward unhappiness with a beautiful hand-dyed wool on the needles like this? Just my thoughts exactly. I will be on the straight-and-narrow toward a hopeful horizon because I have this woolly lot given to me by a lovely little tadpole. Something to cuddle and keep my hands busy & warm.
Soon I will cast on for an Fishwives Lace Shoal being that an engaging lace is just the tonic needed, because I haven’t knit a stitch for two months, and I do believe knit-walking in particular has supernatural ability to fend off all that is unpleasant. Just me and 100 grams /437 yards, and a good & kindly level path to meander on, while contemplating the Territory Ahead. Thank you tadpole!

Its been a very difficult time for me in recent last month (already nearly two since the wildfire) as I grow out of shock, and face grief in its many facades. There simply aren’t many things I can expect from myself for a while, but to survive this period of hard knocks, dealing with the insurance company and inevitable constrained possibilities of future rebuild … I am to say the least, just staying afloat with sails down, in a sea of uncertainty. Spinning some, soon to be knitting again.

OOOOoooh, beautiful color. Seems to be a lovely Sea theme going on here. I’m imagining you walking along a breezy shore with your knitting. xoxo
Yes, I am knitting-while-walking some metaphorical shore always, somewhere, if even sometimes in my dreams only. xx

The yarn gift is beautiful. ((((((((((((Jen))))))))))))

I need to try that Miss Babs Northumbria BFL yarn for my own self. Any self-floatating tadpole should follow the example of her inimitable hero, n’est ce pas? Ah…Northumbria. They have rain there, don’t they? Ironically, there may be more beach glass when the Ventura wildfires reach the Pacific Ocean. Oh dear me. Tell me you are still safe…again.
xoxo,
your own wee tadpole
Oh Taddy, I am safe enough, beach combing for wool and enjoying your present immensely! xxx
… although admittedly Taddy, today , and most days, I meet the surf with a freshly sobbed face and need the raw elemental places on days like these. xx
ps. And I am on a heavy medicinal dose of buttered toast therapy !
