Old Hands

I think my hands are getting old. After only 4 hours of knitting they are very tired and don’t want to do anything else for the day.  I am not sure how to build my hand stamina up to be able to knit for 8 or more hours per day again. Does anyone have any suggestions?  

Spoiler Alert

This is a spoiler alert for Game of Thrones.  The season 8 episode 1 is so good that it makes knitting and spinning impossible.  What? You were expecting me to give plot information. No way.  Watch it for yourselves.

I have been busy trying to put store throat and it’s aftermath behind me.  I have not caught up yet.  I still have a few patterns to type up and take pictures of. I also have a few designs in the process, yes I am taking good notes.

I am also getting a lot of Spinning and art yarn spinning done.  I am trying for a couple of skeins a week until my fiber stash is smaller.  So if you need art yarn for a project be sure to check out Grandmas Spinning Wheel in Tucson for some very 1 of a kind skeins.

I have a slew of knitting that needs the rows counted and added to Raverly too.

Well it’s time to call it a day.

Projects 68 to 74

Here are the next 7 finished projects.  All are hand spun yarn. 4 are art yarn. All are going to Grandmas Spinning Wheel in Tucson on Friday. They are all one of a kind skeins of yarn. They will be in the hand spun yarn by local Tucson Fiber Artists section of the shop. All will be priced $34.00 or less.

Projects 37 to 67

You will notice that you only see 28 items, not 30. The simple explanation is that 2 pair of earrings are hiding in my bedroom.  I just loved 2 of the pairs of earrings so much that I could not part with them. These are all for the Taglit fundraiser tomorrow morning at the Tucson JCC At Alvernon and Dodge. From 8 am until noon.  Please come out and support Eric and his friends.   Thank You.  

Friday’s Fundraiser

I did not have the energy to do errands today. So after my eye doctor appointment I came home and made a lot of earrings for the Friday morning fundraiser for Eric’s day program.  I only have 5 more pairs to make for my promised 2 dozen.  Let’s just say I really prefer more than 2 weeks notice for making things for fundraisers.

Also since I can’t  commit to a full day Friday, the fundraiser will end around lunchtime.  All my earrings will be priced at $5.00 and the bracelets at $10.00.  This will be a good time to pick up something for mom and help a good cause.

The fundraiser will be at the Tucson JCC at the corner of Alvernon and Dodge.  That is unless you come in on the back side and use River Road. There is not a hard start time, but around 8:00 am to noon.

Also Eric and his friends made some great greeting cards and other art projects to sell. So please try to stop by and make it a sell out.  Usually the money goes to scholarships and supplies.

As usual 100% of the sale price for my jewelry will go to the day program.  Also if you have any tabs for Eric’s charity project they can be dropped off too.

Feeling Better

After sleeping most of the day, I am happy to report that I am feeling better.  I will still try to keep things on the light side though. So this afternoon I designed 4 pairs of earrings, 1 of which I am keeping.  I plied 3 skeins of art yarn.  To top the night off I started knitting a new hat.  I expected that my creative energy will be all over the place for at least a few days.  I really can’t wait to see what happens.
