I'm up too early...
Well, too early for me...but the good news is, i have beads from the kiln...just not enough to post today...I'm shooting for tomorrow IF IF IF everything goes well today and I get more made this evening...I have some errands in Austin which I'm finding tends to blow holes in my day, so I'm hoping that I'm home by 3:00 and can get back to the torch...as of right now, I don't see any reason why I can't...the rain has moved on and its supposed to be a nice few days...lets hope it all works out the way I planned...
I'm really happy with the beads I made, I've discovered the 'secret' to making truly ROUND lentils...round..not 'axe head' shaped...not fat and thick...these are round like a quarter and the edges are nice and sharp (not to cut you of course)...Its only taken me 4 years to figure out how to do this...I'm sure I'll prattle on about it more tomorrow once I get pics posted...I haven't worked with the lentil shape in ages...so its nice to spend some time with it...
I've kinda stopped knitting for the week until I can figure out if the lace pattern I'm doing is coming out correctly...its a whole new area for me and it just doesn't look right..I'll take it to my instructor on Fri and get her opinion...she's working the same pattern and her piece looked so good, but mine is a bit like a fishing net...there's no pattern, just thread looped everywhere...I think I need to start my next fair isle tote...the yarn is wound, just waiting for me...time to get those new patterns going...
All the cats and dog are fast asleep...zzz...except Amelie who is waiting for me to walk to every food bowl and make sure its loaded w/ nuggets...the thing is, i've already checked them all but she doesn't know that...she's my little 'empty food bowl' alarm...if there is a bowl empty in the house, she runs to it and chirps...no wonder she weighs so much...poor little stray kitty...
