Hoochie Mama…
"Bummer Summer" - Summer 2009
This is the sight that we’ve been looking at most of this summer…dark clouds, rain, wind, and cool…Yesterday morning outside thermostat was 8C…Summer? Really?
Our holidaze start on Saturday — Will we see some sun and heat then?? I sure hope so..Chris and Anna are coming in from the Sunshine Coast….From Sunshine Coast to Rainy Ontario??
Well, okay, I’ll get a grip, and think some happy thoughts….
Sleepwalker socks
ouch…hard to pose for a sock shot with my torn knee ligament…That has been the “other” bummer for me this summer…
Okay, okay, I know that I sound like a real whiner….because..YES! I am whining…
Again, happy thoughts…happy thoughts…
Here is some Mama Llama that I bought to cheer myself up:
Mama Llama Silky Ewe 70% SW Merino & 30% Silk in "Egypt"
Mama LLama Bounty Ewe 80%merino 10% cashmere 10% nylon in "Arcata"
Mama Llama Original Sock 100% SW Merino in "Jude"
Yes, these things do make me happy….
Also making me happy, I started a lacy scarf:
Alexandria in Estelle Cadenza "blue"
This pattern is from the Woolgirl Sock Club April kit - Jen gave us two patterns that month, one for a sock and the other for this lacy scarf. This is my first attempt at a scarf. I am really enjoying working on this, but it’s a little less exciting than socks with the heel turns and such.
Anyhow, I am on the lookout for a nice easy pattern for a “man scarf” that I can use one hank of fingering weight yarn with. Erwin has told me that if I make him a brown or green scarf, he will wear it. So, if you know of an easy (emphasizing “easy”), fingering weight pattern (preferably free online), please drop me an email.

See? It doesn’t take too much to make me happy!
