Hello! It seems like an age, doesn’t it? I was super busy after I finished the blanket. I was concentrating on the sweater I’ve been making for Thom. I have most of the body done now, minus the sleeves and collar, but I found that I likely need another ball of yarn. This thing eats yarn for breakfast! So I’m back to spinning a last bobbin of 3-ply Coopworth yarn - #8! Whew. That will bring the total up to nearly 2 lbs. of wool. Warm sweater! Hope he will still get a chance to wear it when it’s finally done.
The other news I have is that we’re plotting another trip in the old VW Westie. South to California and Nevada to get some sunshine and warmth! You can’t blame us. It’s rained nearly every day since forever around here. However we need to be back before I have to start planting seedlings in mid-March so we’re leaving next week. Whee! Much packing still to do. No idea how often I’ll be able to post from the road since we’ll be mostly thoroughly bushed. My sister is staying here while we’re away so the house won’t be neglected.
So here’s the test. Still having trouble posting photos so trying a differnt method. You may get 2 posts. Hopefully one will have a picture of the kale I picked from my garden.

safe travels, hope the rain has stopped by the time you return.
Maybe you can take some of this eternal moisture south with you. I hear they desperately NEED some of it & I don't think we'll miss a single drop!! I wish I was coming along, I'm ready for some sunshine & warmth too. Good luck & fair sailing . . .
Wanted to wish you dry roads and happy trails... Let me know if you are coming through Portland, I'd love a chance to say hello!
Awww...unfortunately we’re slipping by Portland at warp speed this time, Alison! It would be lovely to meet you (and the chooks) in person. I’m sure we’ll be back your way again sometime though. I love Portland.
I’ll do my best to bring back some sun, Sharon! But I sure don’t want to bring it with me. Yuck!
I think of that rhyme, baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, two pounds full. Heh. That's a heavy sweater - it must be so snuggly and warm. And fresh kale. I bet it tastes really green. Yum.
