Wow, What a Concept!
I stumbled upon this blog today as I was feeling very quilty and down for sort of neglecting my blog this month. I couldn’t have stumbled upon it at a better time! I don’t feel quite so bad now.
And the more I think about it the more and more I like it.
I found this post about blogging without obligation. Why I never thought about it like the way this post puts it I really don’t know. I mean really, what a novel idea, not feeling quilty about random posts. The more I think about it the more I agree on how to post for the sake of frequent posting really does effect the content of what I may blog about. I would much rather have really interesting infrequent postings than dull and rather pointless regular postings. Not to say that I plan on going months on end without a post but now I feel a little better about going a week or two (or gasp, three) weeks without writing anything.
I take what I write about seriously and want to have strong content in each and every post. So, from this day forward I plan on B.W.O. Thanks so much for understanding.
Now, on a side note: my poor knitting has slooooowed down. I am almost embarrassed to admit how many projects are just sitting right now. In fact the striped sweater and the striped cardigan for Princess A are both finished knitting, have been for weeks now, and just need to have their seams sewn. Ditto for the halter top. I can’t seem to get my butt around to blocking them and sewing them up (I never have liked sewing up seams in the first place which might be part of the problem). And this might sound a little nuts but this is how my brain works, I have several other patterns I am wanting to begin but I keep not letting myself because I tell myself I can’t until I finish the seams on those previously stated three! Oh, and the green garter lace shawl I am in the middle of is just sitting right now cause I am bored with it….
I am working on a new dyeing experiment that I plan on completeing this week and hopefully I can get some good pictures and will blog about it.
One last thing: I am so happy this week marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring! I am sick of rain! :-}

Recently I was searching for some more unusual types of yarn and came across Cornucopia by Kollage. It really got my attention because it is made from corn. Never would I have thought to make yarn from corn! I just couldn’t imagine what that might look like let alone feel like. I imagined it to be rough.I ended up researching that particular yarn a bit and read a pretty good review about it at Knitter’s Review that can be found 
my circular bamboo needles that are rather blunt so maybe that has something to do with it? The yarn is surprisingly very soft; it’s going to feel really nice in the summer which is what I am making it for. I am curious to see how it feels after several washings since it is both machine washable and dryable. I wonder if it will get softer after use. It really does feel nice. I actually wish I had ordered another skein or two because I think it would make some nice washcloths for the bath as well.
