It's here! It's here! The Mermaid Scarf pattern is finished and ready for purchase. It will be up on
The Soap Plantation website shortly or it can be found at Knit N Stitch. It is a simple little scarf suitable for beginning lace knitters and will take about 300 yards of any laceweight yarn. This is the first little pattern I am sending out into the world and I hope you like it as much as I do.
in other news, it has been hot and humid for the past two days. Blah. I have been watering the garden but it is getting to the end of the season and everything is looking a bit scraggly. I found some seeds for
Coreopsis Tinctura or Dyer's Coreopsis when I was clearing out a cupboard and think I will put it in before "winter". I also need to suck it up and dig out all the sad sad rose stumps. I wonder when the right time is to put in new ones?
I have been weaving like a woman possessed by the need to make her hobby into a career and it is going well. I can actually weave and let my mind wander
at the same time now. I can even weave and listen to NPR! And either my cotton spinning has improved or I found a better way to load it on the bobbin, because the thread has been breaking far less.
I am missing Wyoming and the fresh air (my skin never looked so good), the open spaces and the scenery. Here is the old chicken coop:
And I will leave you with a picture of some sunflowers. Who doesn't love sunflowers?

Did you know that the chicken coop was also a goat shed? Or also held sheep, since Great-grandpa also had sheep. The stanchions are still in place.
I miss the "sniff, sniff; what's that smell? Oh, yeah: fresh air!!"
Love, A.Anne in Glendale
