Live Earth

The Live Earth Concert is rolling around the world. N24 seems to be the only station here carrying the concerts. Similar to the Olympics, you only get the feed they chose. Which meant London and now New York. Probably why we have Hamburg and South Africa running on two laptops. The only two in the house that happen to still have IE installed. Firefox is our browser of choice. The cause is important, the mix of groups quite interesting. Rio, and Johannesburg having the greatest variety. Shanghai – a couple of the most impressive solo vocalists I have heard in years.

Spinning

Personally – Tour de France is better than most of the musical performances. Since today had a timed heat, it counts for spinning. Meanwhile, I pulled out the wool for my Shawl Collared Aran and did some spinning.

Kauni

Progress, wonderful progress. Determined to knit at least 10 rows a day, I would rather 20. I am finishing up the 8th row of squares. 10 seems to be about right for the underarms. I am not planning on binding off under the arms, but keeping the stitches live and incorporating them into the sleeves. I am really pleased with the colours, not that I really need more red and gray…

Socks

A few more rounds on the Sockapalooza and the start of the Serpentine (Sockmania for July).

Pictures tomorrow, I am tired and need to rest my shoulder.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
