Between all the unplanned things of life and a sprained wrist to boot, it took me a year – a year! – to knit a scarf. Now it is done and it is lovely.
We’ve been together through so much, my fuzzy warm friend, that I’m having a hard time packing you up and mailing you off even if your home is with a good friend.
pattern: Purl Soho
yarn: a soft and lovely merino of unrecalled origin
Two skirts that I loved to wear.
Neither, however, fit very well so they weren’t often worn;
I bought them because I love the fabrics.
Probably just enough fabric in each for a tote bag.
Let the repurposing adventure begin!
Returned a strikingly attractive pair of Donald J. Pliner pumps, classically styled, which always draws me in.
Then went to the Keds web site and bought two pairs of cute slipons.
It was a dark and stormy morning. Came home soaked after taking the dogs for a short walk. Shed my jeans in the kitchen and walked around in tights and a rather long tee shirt — a semi-country version of Elaine Stritch. Only less glam. And with no acting ability. But, with all immodesty, the gams are comparable. Better go put on some pants.

Something about nothing appeals deeply. The simple, the uncomplicated, the everyday. Not waiting for the big things but reveling in what’s at hand, and looking forward to more of the same.
