Daily Color: “Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.” –Charles Baudelaire
The siblings, marked, pinned, and ready to stitch.
Daily Color: “Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.” –Bill Watterson
...or, in my case, a cup of coffee and a temari special order. Like the siblings who will receive these, the three temari will be clearly related yet not identical.
Daily Color: “Aurora had but newly chased the night,
And purpled o'er the sky with blushing light.” –John Dryden
We watched the sky last night. Crystal clear, the moon enormous, and then the shadow creeping, turning the moon into a glowing ember suspended among the stars. And oh, the stars! As the moon dimmed, the stars, already brilliant, brightened even more, the Milky Way vibrant. At one point, a shooting star streaked beneath the red moon.
The only thing that could have made this spectacular night more spectacular? Northern lights. I haven't seen them in years; it's been too cloudy, or I've been too sleepy to venture out in the wee hours on a cold, clear night to search the sky for the irridescent bands and waves of light.
For now, this new temari will have to stand in until I'm lucky enough to see Aurora again.
Daily Color: “We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.” –David Mamet, “Boston Marriage”
Sunday breakfast: the first--but not the last!--homemade apple pie of the season, with a side of socks.
Yarn: Viking Nordlys color 949, with some blue wool/nylon mystery yarn from stash for heels and toes. Pattern: Yankee Knitter Classic Socks.
By the time I'd drained my coffee, the toe was done and I had a new pair of socks.
Daily Color: "The wheels are spinning in my head all the time." –Justin Berfield
After all that linen stitch, back to temari this weekend.
