I feel like this might turn out to be one of those ‘acquired taste’ items.

This one’s going to be orange-based with the other guys as accents.

The Rug Yarn

There, now how awesome is that.

Can’t wait to soak & skein it.

Today I have this surreal feeling of looking out at the wide white world and wondering what I’m doing here.

…it’s always something.

Started to get a headache. Hope it’s not Paxlovid relapse.

Finger hurts as much as ever, I just try not to use it. Boy, if this is arthritis and permanent, it truly sucks.

Wasn’t sure about the pink in this. Still not sure. Not sure I like the way the pattern looks a lot better on one side than the other, also. I bet once it’s an actual scarf that I’m throwing around, fine details like this will be overlooked.

Sometimes the little bluebird of happiness just alights on you. Sometimes the cylinders just click.

Lacey scarf next. This will look great with my winter coat.

It’s about 45 inches wide and over 5 feet long.

I think I should add some dark green and then run with it.

I need to somehow dull down that yellow into more of a gold.

Another thing I recently did was complete my kitchen inventory. Last year or so I decided to undertake an inventory of everything in the house. I started with the mudroom and then moved on to the kitchen. I have some 900 items in my kitchen. This includes everything from large appliances to liquor. Everything in the cupboard, from all-purpose flour to xantham gum. Spices, from allspice to white pepper. Utensils, from apple corers to wooden tongs. You get the idea.
