These are some very cool Mardi Gras pig beads straight from New Orleans! Cara brought them back from her trip last year. She had a knack for finding great oinkers!
Tomorrow D#2 and I depart for the college trip. Some of you asked where we will be headed ….. first stop tomorrow is Sarah Lawrence. Wednesday we will be seeing both Vassar and SUNY New Paltz. Bard is on Thursday’s schedule.
I shall be taking along the Hex Coat, but I don’t know how much knitting time I’ll manage …….
I bet you weren’t thinking you would be hearing from me so soon after yesterday’s sporadic blogging declaration. It is a bit ridiculous to pronounce you have nothing to say and then post an entry the very next day.
But how can I keep quiet on such a momentous occasion? I had to share my good news – my moss stitch days are over!
the first Hex
and it feels so good!
here’s a little oink for you, this cast iron fellow sits on a butcher’s block in my kitchen.
and so has begun the Summer of Sporadic Blogging (as if you hadn’t noticed)
I know I have been an absent blogger. I have no good excuse other than there is really nothing to say! I do however have a prezzie for you all just to make it all better.
How about a Adirondack chair tutorial??

Mr. Boar (Boar, Boar he’s our Man! If he can’t do it, nobody can) finally succumbed to my nagging and put together a how-to for the chairs. He has crazy little handwriting, so hopefully you will be able to read what he wrote.
I would like to remind you that these chairs are a replica of Kay’s chairs. After visiting her last summer and loving them, I took lots of pictures and measurements and then Boar and I churned out a bunch for our place. I think they should be voted the official Knitting on the Porch chair. Plenty of room for your elbow and a refreshing beverage on those hot summer days!
