Threading the linker part 2...Steven Speilberg we are NOT!

Second attempt

No laughing...well, quietly...I'll get it, I'll get it...I mean the threading, not the filming.

But first...pictures

Place the work on the needles, wrong sides facing each other.


I use these dental loops. they work great for threading the linker and the serger!

Press the foot pedal and link away.

There you go...cut off at the end, but getting better...with practice.

I'll leave you with this:

Threading the Erika linker--for Katy

Here is the first one. The other one may (?) be better, I'll post it tomorrow?

Also: got the first video at the bottom of the previous post...!

Knitting

Hey, girly girls!...here are some pictures of what I've been doing.

I've permitted myself to start this moebius, it is so fun to knit. I use the Cat Bordhi mobius cast on. When I get tired of doing regular knit, I start a row knitting backwards, in continental style, which gives me purl rows. I usually do 3 or 4 rows of each. It goes fast--relatively--and it is good brainless work.
The other day, it was cold--but not as cold as the following days of 5F--so I made me a cup of tea in one of my favourite mugs.

It looked like this outside, which was very inspiring for making bread.

Then, I milled some of THE BEST WHEAT IN THE WHOLE REALM, and made bread.

See, it was cold but not so much.

While the bread was rising and, later, baking I lounged in the living room which was flooded with sunshine...I love that room in the morning. Since I'm a Mom I can multitask...while I knitted I watched some youtubes of knitting, but mostly Bible preaching...love that too.

This is the scarf--in progress, and almost done--for 2a. Sorry I did not take a picture of it blocked. It came out so lovely. This scarf was a 'practice block' for an afghan. I'll show you later. [I'm considering buying pink yarn by the truckload, seriously, EVERYBODY--actually the girls--wants everything pink.] {the guys want blue and/or black--or should I say black-and-blue, which, more readily match their bruises...boys!}

I am happy to announce that I "tried" making a video of the moebius, and I've succeeded...now...how to place it in the blog?????? as soon as I figure it, you'll see it.

KEEP CALM & STAY THE COURSE

Persistence, or rather "Extreme point-and-click" and VOILA!

You will see my first--and maybe only--video. It took an hour to upload a 3 and a half minute video. There must be something else I need to know.

Boy-oh-boy, it sounds like I'm breathing in a respirator. I'll have to figure how to hold the camera and not breathe, or something. [hopefully you won't notice so much]

I'll leave you with this:

Where is she?

Do any of you what has happenned with "A girl and her mut" http://doggedknits.com/
I've been going to see her, but all I get is a blank page...it's been a few weeks.

I wondered if she posted something about it when I wans't on line. If any of you know, could you share??????

I really like her blog. Some of her knitting being "modeled" by her dog. Really cute.

I might be getting the "IN MOTHBALLS" award

It's been almost two months since I've posted.

Soooooo soooorrrryyyyy!!!!!!

I have no excuse, I have neglected all of you--but not in my heart. Of course, I've written dozens of posts IN MY HEAD all this time...ok, enough of that.

I've been sewing.

And have finished the mile-a-minute afghan...it's been so fun to make it.

Made new pockets for DH's favorite slacks...

Made a make-up bag for Mrs. #5...she liked it.

Found an old gold color doily at a Garage Sale, it needs a little repair...I will get to it...eventually.

Made some pies...like...a lot!

Ate some Russian Chocolates...yummmmmm!!!!!

Had Thanksgivings...no pictures of that (na, na)

Got my new Spin-Off...hugging it. The yarns on the cover were the exact color of the turtle neck shirt I was wearing...pictures cannot reproduce the knit cotton and the printed page, as the eye can see it...humor me, and pretend you can really see it as I did.

Lastly...I had to share this sunet with you...it was breathtaking to see. The clouds were moving so fast I could only take two picures before the colors were not so glorious...enjoy.

Almost forgot...

I (sort of) complained about being stresssssed...well I forgot the most stressing thing of all...helping my goater friend dehorn a new batch of babies--no pictures. It takes her 10 seconds per horn, and the kid doe or kid buck do not experience discomfort by that...but they sure don't like to be held tightly. Although she had a box made for that specific procedure, I had to hold their heads (one-at-a-time) from the up and down, and, side to side jerky motions.

One Momma

Since it was the first time I helped, and had never seen it done, she told me exactly what to do and how to do it...and she encouraged me by saying that I did very well. Nevertheless, it was much, much more different than anything else, that I've helped her with.

I was the one stressed, not the goats, and not the goater...who laughed--kindly--at me. I was most concerned with hurting the baby goats than anything else.

It all finished well, even, holding each one of them in my arms while she gave them their tetanus shots.

Another Momma and two kids...in the back is the goat's 'igloo'

And Papa...his name is Snickers...such a gentle, gentle buck...relaxing and eating his alfalfa hay.

He produces very gentle offspring.

Good morning, Girlies!

Started to download pictures and camera ran out of 'juice'...hold on while it recharges...




If I were to say 'I've been busy' it would not be so very accurate. I've been BUSY, and the resulting 'stress' caused to be 'under the weather' ...but now I'm on my way back to being my regular, impossible-to-get-a-word-in, self. So...there. All's well, getting busy again.



Here is a summary:



Helped my Mom pack/re-pack/un-pack/re-pack for her trip with her friends. She'll be gone until the middle of October. (She is having a great time, thank you, Lord)

Finished/completed the alterations for Mrs.#4's dress and jacket, for her sister's wedding. Mrs.#4 was the Maid-of-Honour. She looked beautiful, and the baby-girl-4b, said she was the most beautiful one in the whole wedding (in my opinion, she probably was, but...don't ask me)








"Almost finished" (three seams to go, and pressing) working on Mrs. #5's Mom's courtain/valances. The color that came out violet is actually more wine/berry color. They are 65" wide, and about 25" long...Mrs. #5 picked the fabric. She is a good colorist.




While resting to recover from being 'under the weather' I read several books...actually finished a couple and started three more...and...I always have those books, that take me forever, to read, they usuall average 4. [they are either booooring, or more boring, but I like to read]



The Genesis Factor reveals the Hand of God in the Hebrew Text, very cool!

Showtime For The Sheep is very booooring. I did not see the movie, I will not! see such Romish trash, it deceives the untaught, but T.A. McMahon gives his opinion--he can have it.

Hazardous Materials--Wow-o-wow. This one will blow you out of the water!




Getting close to completing the making of that 'mile-a-minute' (not really) baby blue afghan for a customer. What I appreciate about this 'mile-a-minute' method is that it can be done in hot weather. Once it is put together, then it becomes a 'blanket' which would be too hot to work with in 90F--even with the AC on.






And working on a snowman vey slowly.






Planning more interesting meals for the cooler weather. It seems that summer does not inspire me to make delicious meals, and since Fall is here...better stuff is coming.
