it is very satisfactory to make something out of the samples. any sample. maybe that's why i've never been keen about sampling at the loom. too much work, wasted yarn and time. not very effective way to gain knowledge methinks , although hats off to Cally Booker sample queen extraordinaire.
going back to machine knitting i am forced to sample because i am teaching myself and cannot assume that a yarn that i know from weaving will act the same way when knitted.if there are two terms it means that yarns act different. learned from sampling that loosely spun cotton will knit( at least mk) in a bias that blocking won't remedy.
the little critters that were hurting my plants.
decided to park ecology and go all the way with a
vile critter effacer.apparently they were laughing out loud at the neem oil . after i sprayed the plants i checked and they were covered with tinygrains as if it were sand!
to celebrate i might treat myself to coffee and croisants
here. what she says in the review about the atmosphere take it with a grain of salt. it is the atmosphere that really makes the place.
and i consider myself lucky to have it in my neighborhood
