obon

today japan celebrates obon. singing, dancing and paying respect to those who have left. more information including traffic here.
tanabata,  the festival of lights and coincidentally the patron of weavers, was on the 13th so it has been a pretty festive week over there.

one of those days

too hot to think.spent half of it perusing ravelry and pretending to knit.

i need to be out of the house before 9am for my daily walk or else forget it.

decisions

to exhaust the vat or to replenish it. this year the ai gods have been walking by my side. it just took an aquarium heater to appease them! i was also able to revive, YES! a 2.5 year old mini vat, for the first time and without setting any precedent.

will i be able to sleep well feeling all that smugness?  ^ _^ 

the second one from the left has 7-8 dips, had to open the itajimes to oxidate them well. think will re clamp them back.

the cotton yarn is calling a white warp with blue stripes. come october.
