We were at Jill's house yesterday for our September Freestyle meeting. The "meeting" was a shower for Cynthia. Can't believe Little Girl Patrick is due in less than a month! Pix I took of the party are at our group blog.
Afterwards, Jill invited me to check out her yarn stash. I had a skein of green wool I was trying to match for a scarf. She offered some great suggestions, as well as a lot of yarn. I love "scrappy" scarves, but the truth is that you only need a few yards of an awfully lot of different yarns to pull it off or your work looks unfashionably cobbled together, where the greater variety makes for an over-the-top, lively piece. As Jill says, "they insist I buy the whole ball. How inconsiderate."
We went to say goodbye to Bethy today, as she and Jordan left immediately after school for the airport and a flight to Manchester. Julie and Ethan have been visiting friends and family in England a week already, and I miss them. They give life such an interesting shape when they are with us. Charles consoled me by taking me to the yarn shop in Woodstock and buying me a skein of Mango Moon Chakra yarn. All I can say is that it's best to take comfort where you can find it.
Gee, but it will surely be quiet around here next week! Guess I'll crochet a lot. I mean a really, really lot!
