Under the weather, a little...

 Life has taken a bit of a turn. I had a total knee replacement last Monday. My neighbor came to visit today. He saw my walker and thought it was pretty cool, but he thought it needed some sheep on it. I agreed! This is how it turned out. I am proud to take it anywhere. The little red bag is my sister, Sara's idea. I needed a way to make sure I always had my phone within reach. She inspired me to create a little phone bag to attach to my walker. I can easily remove it and hang it around my neck if needed. Great little idea!



While Sara stayed with me for a few days after surgery (THANK YOU, SARA) she found time to
help my neighbor learn to knit. I just happened to have a spare set of needles left over from the Beginning Knitting class I taught in February.  I also had this ball of camo yarn that Nathen thought was really nice. He was a serious student and learned in no time!

I have also realized that I will be unable to spin any yarn for a while as I need to keep my leg elevated Sara brought a book with her that I had not seen before. 

It is the newest One Skein Wonder Book 'Lace One-skein Wonders', edited by Judith Durant and published in 2013 by Storey Publishing. I fell in love with the book and ordered myself a copy. It arrived today. It is full of beautiful, small, Lacey fun projects. I think many of these will be

Perfect to showcase Arachne Handspun yarns. I have decided to knit up some things to sell at the next sale I go to. I think Arachne will be presenting some Lace Knitting classes in the not to distant future...watch the Arachne Yarns Facebook page for announcements!
