bee and flower
Ok I hafta make this fast because I am in Pause, which is a nice cafe with good coffee, excellent music and a real live British telephone box. And lots of clocks all set to a different hour, which is very considerate for those of us that exist outside of time. But the clocks on the iMacs keep tick tick ticking, at $2.50 per half hour, and that is unnerving when one has so much to catch up on. Mostly I just wanted to let my dear Knit-A-Log readers (fans? yes? Please be my fans!) to know I had not forsaken them and I haven't drowned.
I just haven't got The Little iMac That Could out of jail yet, poor little guy.
Its very strange, and a lot like being cut off from humanity to be without one's hinternet connexion, and having to leave one's house (imagine!) to blog.
Anyway, I've been swept up in sock knitting, and have finished one small pair of carrot looking ones in Baby Ull (very nice and soft!) and an adult size pair is almost done, in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock- the lovely Daffodil colorway. Also underway are Mummy's pair in Bee. Bee! What could bee more splendid!? I ask you, Knit- A -Log readers!
Oh, to live on Bee Street! Here is a bit of poetry from Shelley for your reading pleasure~
Thy sweet childe Sleep,
the filmy-eyed,
murmured like a noontide bee
Oh soon it will be summer and so I ordered the ChickCami, I'm lusting lusting for Rowan All Seasons
Cotton but I have the budget for Kitchen Cotton.
Next week I am taking my Boston Terrier and hitting the road! More news later on that later!
Swimming is my other obsession.
The pool is indoors, and usually empty of other people, except for when the Ladies Exercise Group comes on Monday afternoons, they don't throw me out but the perfume is a little off-putting.
Still my new hobby is walking on my hands on the bottom. In answer to a reader's concerns, Gentle Reader, fear not! The pool is indoors and heated! Although I have swum outdoors in April in Canada,
Canada!! Its frickin cold in Canada! With an Egghead,(read it and send him hatemail! He's used to it!) and it was not so bad, as long as only your face was sticking out. Its true.
Anyway it looks like my time was up a while ago.
Nobody said anything but I should probably not take advantage!
Please please post comments! It makes me so happy!!!

Hey, we got your package. Thank you!!
Caroline grabbed her socks and said "these Caroline socks" "these fit me" "wanna put em on" "Wanna take off my blue socks" (or something to that effect)
Anyway she has them on now and her feet will never be cold again.
See you soon!

There you are! Missed you. Weird, since you've posted like three times since I found your blog, but still....
