Divine socks, auras, spinning, and other assorted chatter

DAHLIANUT!!! So pleased to see you! Glad to hear you have a new patio. What fun. A great place to sit and have little liquid refreshments whilst contemplating one's dahlias, imaginary chickens, and the divineness of sockies.

I am absolutely sure that your colour exists. Do not be alarmed. Feel free to take the test. You may quite possibly be a rainbow.

Well the good news is that I exist; the bad news is that I'm a Sybil. {{{{{ to all the red overlay peoples}}}}

Oh dear. I am sure a pair of divine sockies would help you overcome the red overlay. It would make you feel all warm and lovely. But what is the base colour (over which the red overlays?).

Do you knit?

Indigo was 8, Lavender was 6. Violet 5, and a couple others were 4. Either a Sybil-psycho-girl or my colour doesn't exit. No worries dear Claire cuz I usually always flunk these kind of tests. Maybe I'm too sparkly? Did you take your test with the divine sockys on or off? I bet that makes a difference ^_^

Oh No! Dear dahlianut is showing the same wishywashy, failure to colour commit tendencies that I have. So sorry.

I believe red overlays are neutralized by green based divine socks. Although only demi-divintiy is possible due to Moxon's refusal to summon up Rumpleskiltsin and get on with turning all that fiber into gold.

Not that I'M complaining, mind you, cause I'm getting my very own aquatic bundles of divine fibery goodness. I am only thinking of others......

It is so like me:0)

Oh NO dear Dahlianut. Where is your green side? I am a full green (12) and am looking for my fellow greenies.

Sob....sniffle....so.....alone....(hiccup)

Green 2 but I feel greener than that, especially if it's lime sorbet green. Maybe my green sparkles were resting when I took the test.

Looking back in the thread, MissJestr's punch appears to have theraputic levels of essential limey green. Might try making some up?

Catscan do you feel sparkly? Maybe we're silver ^_^

I do feel rather silvery. And my laughter is like the ringing of tiny silver bells....I often just sit and laugh quietly to myself, just for the pleasure of hearing it.

What are you looking at?

Catscan you are most definitely a silver. I noticed there were no questions about sparkles or wings or tinkly bell laughter or singing with the wind. All these important silver questions were missing.

Do either of you tend to wear clothing items with those little bells on them. I am wearing one of those sort of Bohemian skirts today with graduated dye colouration and swirly embroidery on it, and it has a waist tie that used to have little tinkly bells on it, but I had to cut off the tinkly bells because they irritated me. I have another one that is sort of tie-dyed and I had to take the bells off it too.

Catscan and Dahlia, the silver aura twins....that is quite delightful indeed!

I don't wear bells because then I couldn't hear the bells in the trees if they are playing. I do wear and like those little metal doohickeys (like on bolo ties) on the ends of shawl fringes that make a nice clickitty-clicketty noise when you move.

I believe bells are superfluous. Varking the dahlia, as it were.

Dahlin' ---we're not Cousins for nothing.....I got 9 I think for indigo....and, though I haven't for a while, used to wear silver bells all the time....scared....?

now if I could just sparkle with laughter like Catsy....aaahhhhh....

Oh my, I was going to admit to being largely green, but now I'm not so sure I should commit myself (pun intended).

Committing oneself has certain advantages over involuntary commitment....or so I have been led to believe.

Thank you dear Catscan for the vocab lesson. I was unfamiliar with vark. It is indeed a useful and exciting word, which I shall try valiantly to incorporate into my vernacular.

Porkpal!!!! Are you my green friend? I got a 12 for green. Why do you not want to be green? Green is superb! Come, join the greenness. Please. Pretty please.

dahlianut good to hear from you....
I have to admit, I wear bells every time I ride my horses. I started doing it in the winter, I love the sounds of sleigh bells, and someone told me Cowboys use to wear small bells on their spurs to call the spirits of the past cowboys to ride with them and keep them safe. I was given a bell and I attached it to my horses breast collar and have never taken it off. I have trained 3 horses with bells, and I love to hear the tinkle when I am by myself on the trail, it makes me think I am not alone..

Plus the zillion bells I have on my front porch I love bells...

Besides Bikers ride with bells attached to the under carriage of the bike, along the cowboy line, to keep good spirits riding with them... ( I have a few biker friends, and to a few special ones, I have been the one to give them their bells)

Ok enough about the bells...
Claire, Today I gathered up horse tail hair where it was around the pens.. Not much, but I figure if I collect it and send it to you, you would know what to do with it.. Or atleast figure something out.. LOL You are after all my crafty Claire..

It's not easy being green; I'm only a 9.

I think it's very easy being green.....the problem is finding other greens. 9 is a very respectable number! Excellent! I think ZZ had 8 green.

MissJ - I will do my best to do something crafty with it. I think that working in a legal field and being referred to as crafty probably isn't a good thing. But I'll try to live up to the name!

Claire,
Do you do pottery? I remember we talked one time about the horse hair that was put on the pottery. I would like to try pottery, dont need the oven, it is hot enough to fire it in the sun out here.... But I have not tried it yet.

MissJ - I don't do pottery. I saw the horse hair work, and bought a vase made that way, in Seagrove, North Carolina. That town is known for its artisan potters. You can drive down the main road and there are over 100 different potteries to visit. It's awesome! I bought some beautiful pieces there.

When I was in my teens, I did a pottery class for the wheel, and I really liked it. I think I would enjoy doing it again but the set-up of the wheel and clay and kiln and everything is a lot of money for a hobby. I mean, the spinning wheel is too, but then I can just pick up and put down some spinning. For pottery, you need to have dedicated blocks of time for it and a special room (because it's so messy) and such.

I'd like to try doing some mosaic work with glass and stone. I have the materials and all, but I haven't had time to get around to it. Maybe in winter.

Really, I wish I could quit work and just do spinning and fiber art and maybe pottery too, and maybe even some wood working, and then sell at the market for produce in the summer. But instead, I work to support these hobbies.

Now I can quilt, my Nanny (Grandmother) showed me how to do it when I was young. Dont do any of it now, have peices that I want to start, but just have not done it. I thought this winter I would do some, but never found the time...

Infact, in my bedroom I still have my Nannys quilt rack, simple it is, but workable.

Voila! She is dry and ready to go. I measured using my second measuring device and it gave me 240 yards. Ugh. It is somewhere between 240 and 305. Nice big range for you there! Maybe start with the smaller skein and see where you get to. I would err on the side of shorter socks, just to be safe. I'm fairly pleased - I hope you will be too. It's very soft and smooshy.

I just re-read that. Does it sound pretentious that I am pleased? It is so un-Canadian.

A natural light shot - the others were with flash.

It is sooooo beautiful. I shall feel like a naiad with a shimmering pool of water on my feet.

Oh now you're just trying to make me blush. I hope it is OK to knit with. It is the first time I have ever sent anybody yarn. The rest just sits on a shelf, staring at me reproachfully, as if to say "We're not good enough to use for anything except tying up brown paper packages."

Brown paper packages tied in yarn can be quite beautiful in their own right! But I agree with Catscan, if somewhat more prosaically, that new yarn is very lovely indeed!

Mother Bird checkin in from NORTH CAROLINA!!!!
