No more truffles for me, waaaah! Figuring out cables is like doing a puzzle. Is that Helio good for DNA scarf? Is is soft and luxurious? It was great here until I weighed in.

I wake up in the dark, and come home from work in the dark. And unless I go outside for lunch, I don't see the sun. I'm always tired. I love my life in general 'though. But my weaving is currently being frustrating. Anyone out there use a warp-weighted loom? It’s not the weather so much as the lack of light for me.

I think I'll go stuff my face in some merino or something... I blame my inlaws ;-)

Around here winter is hiding, it's supposed to be spring-like today. And you're getting back into the same-old-routine after being hyped up with the holiday spirit and that special feeling that one gets from the holiday season.

Actually, the swatch frustration is a healthy vent for me! Carrie's got a point, too. Strep's going around the schools, it's finals time, my tax planner arrived this week, and I'm wondering why I ate so much over the holidays... OTOH, my orchids are starting to bloom!

All of sudden, no more parties, cartloads of work, and tax forms start appearing in the mail. Anyone who works in the financial industry is having a peak season and let's not even think about those of us subject to a cruel academic schedule that puts the end of fall semester after Christmas! I bet after a little rest, the solution to your fleur-de-lis problem will appear, better than you (or any of us) could imagine. I second the post-holiday theory.

Here's hoping you soon get the swatch you want. Heilo is great, isn't it? I wish we’d have a little MORE winter. 62 degrees at 6:00 PM is a little crazy.

Maybe it's the post-holiday crash that brings so many people down. Good question, I’ve noticed it too. Maybe it’s the post-holiday crash that brings so many people down.

It's been sunny for days and the days are getting longer already (Alaska). I got out the madder last weekend and got a reddish orange on wool, orange on silk. Fun, fun, fun, with lots more of those natural dyes to try. I'm thinking of Seafoam Squares from Knitter's magazine in natural shades of golds plus whatever else I get. People are blue? I’m not!
