i was grounded last night by a good, long
phone conversation with aimee.
so
when i looked at the work out this morning (before i go to work)
it didn't look as hopeless as i'd been feeling
little eucalyptus pages
and this, THIS amazing paper and silk
habu yarn.
i could tell you how much i love this yarn,
but you can see, perhaps what a quirky personality it has
but you have to touch it
to really understand.
i'm not a knitter,
crochet is the technique i prefer
so this little odd elk bone hook
that i made with jim croft
is getting her test run.
i think this is a new book.
I think so too! Looking forward to seeing it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe habu looks like it has an amazing texture... I need to learn to crochet, thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeletethat reminds me of a silk-wrapped other yarn from habu that i loved using in santa fe last year, though i wish i had had more! thanks for seeing me through the night.
ReplyDeletethe habu yarn is a winner.
ReplyDeletewhy do artists get into such funks?been trying to keep my head above the water for a good year.
ha! the captcha read asiaGl
roberta, it's gonna happen.
ReplyDeletechudney, thank you!
valerie, it's easy, i'll show you!
aimee, thanks to you, too, my friend
neki, ha, and i don't know but it's rotten
Habu is simply...well...too tempting to resist. I've several skeins of various yarns waiting for one day. Love the look of your Habu. And so delightful to find you're a crocheter as well. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteas i was reading your blog, the thought that came to my mind was: imagination station
ReplyDeleteand a little tune played in my mind
i love how you can see something in something that most would see as nothing
except, that is, for artists
who see something in everything
love

claudia, i am so lucky to have a sister who is a kindred spirit. thank you.
ReplyDeleteLooks it - like just a few loopy loops.
ReplyDeletelooks like its going to be a really interesting book for holding and flipping. i dream of seeing habu yarn in person some day. nifty bone hook, too.
ReplyDeleteoh you are crocheting with it! I just found some here in the Land Down Under last week but in black wrapped on white, yummy stuff!
ReplyDeletevalerie, the knitters have it as far as cool, but i like crochet and my hands do too.
ReplyDeletejoni, you could order just one skein; u.s. mail reaches the north country, so why not alaska? (ha-ONE skein)
mo, yeah, i saw that, too. i couldn't buy it all...
What a wonderful crochet hook! An inspiration!
ReplyDeletejan, i am learning to use it, very different than the old bone ones i've collected
ReplyDeletei really lust after this thread Velma - but think I love those pages even more. Exqisite.
ReplyDeletesusan, it's very lovely in the hand. and thank you.
