Diary of a Switch Knitter

The wonderful time of spring break is here. I'm waiting for my last student before I am free and clear to go play in the mud.

I am working on learning new techniques again. I am practicing continental knitting, and ravelry friends have suggested learning to knit backwards and avoid purling. I am getting the hang of continental, but am as awkward as can be in purling. So may different ways to get the same result, so little time.....

My stray girl was spayed, shot, wormed and tested this week. She is all clear for a new home soon. My camera has died ( well, I bought it for 50 dollars at the unclaimed baggage store seven years ago, I guess I've gotten good use out of it) so I need to find my husband's camera and hope it has a computer cable ....

Saturday is supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny. I would like to go to a sheep and yarn show in Shelbyville at the Calsonic arena and see it. Maybe I can find a nice sheep kid or two to help with vaccinating and shearing my woolies since Ken has refused to help. Maybe even find some nice handspun. . . Yes I know it's Lent and I shouldn't buy more yarn, but this is special. I have been saying MP every day and doing spiritual reading (while I knit) and I do enjoy the discipline, but heck, it's handspun.

Today (Friday) I had to lead my yoga class again. I didn't know the instructor was going to be gone, but there we were with no one in front of the class. It is actually good practice for when I get my certification, but I'd really like to know beforehand. And as I have found out, I don't get to do much yoga if I'm leading it. Sun salutes this afternoon out on the lawn for me ...

It also looks as though I'm going to be trying to fence another pasture for sheep by myself. I am going to start and see if DH throws a fit and gets it done. I've been waiting a year. A friend also suggested cutting a hole in the old carpet to see if I can get the new bamboo floor sooner. I thought of cutting a hole and putting in the sample and just saying I wanted to see how nice it would look. I don't know if I'm brave enough for that. We'll see. Knit on.......
