Winter light

Posted by on Monday, January 29th, 2007

Finally, my camera and I are in the same place as the sun.

That happy accident came about only because I led a discussion about creation myths over the weekend, and it filled my noggin to bursting.  So I had to leave work at lunch time and come home to decompress.  Which allowed me to be in my living room while the sun was in the sky–that’s not a common occurrence these days.

And before you say it, yes, Muse-induced migraines are soooo last-millenium.  Whatever–call me old-fashioned.  I won’t deny it.  After all of the discussions of Athenabirthing and Ilmatar’s 700-year plus Väinämöinen-producing, Earth-creating pregnancy, I’m feeling damn fortunate to only experience some head-pain associated with artistic creation.

Scott’s sweater, in the corrected stripey pattern.

And the growing blanket, looking particularly fetching in dappled light.

This is proof of how a badly injured clown can be rehabilitated.  Ground-up-clown brand yarn, post-surgery:

So much better without the garish bits.

And this . . . dammit I need to know what it is.  A few friends have been kind enough to give me their leftover sock yarns.  Rachel sent a huge pile of goodness (befriend Rachel and get her to make you socks if at all possible.  She has very good taste in yarn).  This hazy blue  . . . I love this hazy blue.  I think I love it enough to make a circus tent out of it.

    Ha! I knew that one would get you. Lorna’s Laces. In…um….Douglas Fir. Yeah, that’s it. That was actually a pair of fingerless mitts. I might, just maybe, have a spare skein of it as a result. If you think a lone skein might make you happy. Not enough for socks, but enough to keep as a pet, or to make lots of squares, or um, fingerless mitts…

    And don’t make friends with me if you want knitted gifts. I’m generous with the yarn, stingy with the knitting. My poor crippled hands can barely keep my own feet in socks.

    Oh, and I’m totally getting a kick out of seeing little squares of my sock yarn out there mingling with yours on the internets.
