Springing Forward and Making New Friends

Well, people, did we all "Spring Forward" an hour today? My clock says it, but my head is still asleep I think. I really detest this messing around with the time. I always have, I always will. Why can't we just stay on one time?

Anyway, yesterday I went to Peggy's house for a gathering of her knit group and my knit group. Peggy and I found each other by way of a Spinning Group! How cool is that? It was major fun, I brought some spindles to show how to spindle spin, even though, that is not my best method of spinning. I really am liking my Turkish spindle so far though. . .

Since we have been having beautiful weather lately I actually have pictures of updates to the barn: (Chris has been really busy on this, did you know garage doors come in pieces?? Heck, I didn't know that! Duh.)



I know that it looks more like a garage than a barn, but that was the intention of the builder. Someday when the horsey goes to live with Caryn, Chris intends to make the barn a workshop for his car hobby. That is a little down the road though, but he tends to be far sighted. Which is normally a very good thing!

Update to Kai is below:

See that marker? That marker is sitting exactly in front of the center of the sweater's back. See the diamond below it? I know that these pictures blow up really big, and if you wanted to you could see that the center of the diamond is exactly in the center of the back! Oh, I know, whoop de do, but I think it's a pretty cool deal!!!!! Now, tell me why my pictures are so dang huge when you guys click on them? Is it the resolution I am using? I always cut them in half (image size) before posting here, so what gives?

so, I think I may have to change it. . . I mean, what the heck is that? I am looking through fairisle patterns now and hopefully, by next week I will have an update to that pattern. So, do I still call it Kai if I change the motifs or does it become June-Kai? Hhhmm. Things to think about I guess.
