Oh, I have my knitting... And have a new pair of socks just started. I love toe-up, two at a time on one long circular needle! But knitting is what I do while DH watches TV... I need quiet solitude to make lace.
I have a loom and sewing studio downstairs, but the area is not "pet friendly", and so neither have been used since I got my little dog. And what I'm itching to do is toss bobbins. I've concluded that a pretty little edging on the vintage roller pillow which belonged to the woman who introduced lacemaking to my town is just what I need to do. That will give me a demo pillow, which I haven't had in a while. Meanwhile, two very handsome grandsons have come to spend their Spring Break with us, and I would love to see if either of them wants to make a snake!
