this blog is a peek into my life of mountain biking, fiber, knitting, spinning, and learning to sew. life is too short to worry about capital letters!

quik update
my goodness it's been over three weeks since i've posted! what's up with that? where the heck have i been? well, I've been to chicago and back, a celtic festival, put out another edition of the town newsletter, homeschooling and just dang busy. too dang busy. i start getting pissy when i haven't the time time to post- just ask the family. i have future blog posts planned for my trip east and the magical world of gaelic fairies, sacrifices and strong men in kilts-but alas, they take time. more time than i have right now...as i prepare dinner, weigh wool, look over liam's science paper, knit on 3 different projects simultaneously while working on my blog-oh yeah, did i mention all at the same freakin time. no wonder i'm frazzled. i just can't do one thing at a time. all i have time for is a quick upate on knitting projects and a few misc. things.
here's my tidepool socks. i'm so loving this pattern.
i'm STILL working on the sleeves of my catamount sweater.
been doing some spinning:
this is some merino i dyed with "baby" items in mind. started another vest:
been cooking with our own garlic and now it's time to get a new crop in the ground! i'm so not ready!!!thinking of turning current garden into a goat/sheep pen this coming spring.
magnusmog-wow! i'm glad you wrote that- i always dried them for tea-they are great for vit.c-colds and flu. i did a search and found out they great for tons of stuff!!!! prevent bladder infections, anti-inflammatory,headaches,arthritissoups, jellies and jams. in WWll they made syrup out of it for health. do a google search-there is tons of info:)
Well, at least you got a post up! I can't even seem to do that... of course it IS fall. Where are you getting rose hips? I always heard it was best to wait until the frost hit them, so haven't picked any yet. I was planning to use them for a syrup instead of Emergen-C which is overpackaged and I learned from reading the label has artificial sweetener!

I'm intrigued, what is the plan for the rosehips?

Wow Wooly, I need to learn more about garlic. I think I've tried the rosehip tea before. Not bad, loaded with vitamin C.
