sweet pea
i haven't posted for a while ... life has gotten in the way.
this pretty little sweet pea self-sowed from the pea straw i put down as mulch.
the vegetable garden now entirely consists of things that have self-sown.
the house hasn't sold, so i haven't had to move, but it's pending, so the garden has to fend for itself.
i'm really looking forward to living somewhere where it's worth my while to have a vegetable garden again...
i like growing (and eating) my own vegetables.

napping and knitting
all i want to do is nap and knit.
is this the preliminary stages of hibernation?
i can feel the pending winter in the air.
i hope my energy levels boost again some time soon

works in progress
so many projects, in progress and in queue.
can't write... too busy making, and planning.
i hope the things in my head will look as beautiful once they are made.

teal
teal is such a pretty colour.
i want to learn how to reply yarn on a spinning wheel.
i wish i wasn't the only knitter i knew.

why?
why does fable love to sleep on mohair?
and how did she get to be so adorable?
why is the hardest (or most tedious) part of the project always the last part?
why does salmon soup make my body go zing?

why?
why does my 'to knit list' seem to get longer and longer
far quicker than my 'have knit list'?
why hasn't my silk lining arrived in the mail?
why am i procrastinating hand sewing the vintage dress?

autumn
i love autumn, even though i can feel the pending cold in my bones.
autumn sunlight makes everything sparkle and brings about the sensation of being between time.

moving house
gardening has come to a halt.
my landlord is selling my house.
i hope i can harvest the pumpkins before i move.
i guess it's an opportunity to focus more energy on my knitting and sewing pursuits.

why?
why do I knit with such small needles?
it seems like such a good idea at the beginning.
I like the effect...
it just makes everything take forever.
