I just noticed one of the search terms used to find this site is “Dyeing yarn with avocado pits.” Uh, no? I’ve not tried that, but now am very curious… Tricia, check that out for me, will you?
Anyway, did the first big, pre-vacation yarn update at the shop. [...]

Of houseguests and mislaid plans
Posted in Dyeing, Family, Food, Pets, Random, Travel, Yarn, etsy on Sep 22nd, 2008

Understandably, the past week or so has been full of chaos. I’m [...]

Travis and the dogs and I drove back to Indiana on Monday (?) night because his grandma has gotten suddenly, unexpectedly, seriously ill. We’ve been in the hospital with her when we haven’t been letting the dogs out or trying to grab a few hours sleep. I’ve been doing a lot of knitting.
