What? it is February already?

It has been a whirlwind of a month. The semester is off to a good start: good classes and interesting students. I am happy.

Went shopping mid-month at The Yarn Shop(LYS) in Pineville, NC. about 20 miles from here. Good thing it is that far as I went just a bit wild. I will share the stash slowly, so you have a good look at each.  The first is next in line for the needles; recycled blue jeans.  I am thinking a small shawl or scarf to wear with jeans. I have two skeins = 700 yds.

There's a close-up from my not-so-good digital camera. The fiber is soft and will get softer with washing so that is why I am headed for shawl --- no more 100% cotton sweaters for me; too much sag.

Reading has been limited to student papers and emails; not a thrill a moment. But for a few moments each night I am trying to read Grafton's latest: V is for violence. Not her fault I keep falling asleep.

Buddy is feeling somewhat camera shy tonight.
