Flea Market Wednesday!!

When Lynda B. suggested taking her van to the Flea Market near Belleville on Wednesday little did I know that I'd be sitting among ball and claw foot tables, iron lamps, and weed eaters on the way home.  Needless to say I was in heaven nestled on my perch knitting away as we drove home through the bucolic valley.  Thank you to Lynda and Shirley for a great day!!

Stuff I'm Up To

I like to knit.  It is a great way to productively fill the little snatches of time in life that would otherwise escape.  I hate to waste time.  Knitting is relaxing.  I don't worry if it takes me a year to finish something (though I would like to complete my new great niece's knitted item while she is still a baby).  The hat you see me modeling in this picture is a wool hat before I felted it.  "Felting" is when you wash a wool item to purposely shrink and mat the fibers.

This is the same item after I felted it and rolled the brim!! I have enough yarn to make a second one.
