Sometimes it pays to procrastinate. I worked on the felted jacket most of the day yesterday but my friend ended up buying something else. So the felted jacket was put aside to be worked on at a later time. Now I can take my time and do some really cool things with it. Blue Herons and reeds be damned I can really play..... well I might still do the Blue Herons I might leave it as a vest since I haven't sewn in the sleeves yet. But whatever I do it will be relaxed. I finish my bookmarks though and that was fun. I even found the grouse feathers that I needed which is no small task since I knew the grouse feathers were in Hubby' heap in the workshop. Yikes!
Today will be a splendiferous day. I can tell. The sun is coming up painting all things orange and pink. Even the sheep. The sheep are grazing peacefully. The alpacas are chewing their cuds while watching... well just about everything. Oscar, the ram, is covered in frost which makes him look grey instead of black. Mornings like this are what owning a small farm are all about. We fed up the animals last night so that this Saturday morning wouldn't be a rush. Tea and toast can be eaten at leisure. I love the word leisure. It has a lovely way of easing off your tongue.
Last night while Hubby read the last of The Riddle to the daughters and moi, I started a toddler's sweater. I am using the yarn that I dyed in the last guild workshop which was supposed to be used for a scarf but I have already knit a bunch of the scarves and so I wanted to knit something else. It is knitting quickly and is looking lovely so far and also it is soft. I am knitting on large needles. It is a sport weight yarn and I am using size 5 mm. Very airy and light. Perfect for a little one.
I am off to a guild meeting this morning but first it is nice to feel at peace.
