Combo-spin, sock knitting with my favorite colorway EVER, and re-listening to Natalie Merchant's Leave Your Sleep.
It’s all about the small pleasures this episode. A knitting project went bust, but I’m so enjoying my Moonrise pendant and some new spinning fiber. Also in this episode: crackers, potted herbs and vegetables, what’s on my nightstand and looking forward to rhubarb!
A finished spinning project, plus knitting, felting and a poem in anticipation of April’s Pink Moon. I’ve been thinking about cooking and baking with spice blends like za’atar and lining up interesting things to read.
April is National Poetry Month. US Poet Laureate, Joy Harjo claims, “Without poetry, we lose our way.” William Carlos Williams wrote, “It is difficult / to get the news from poems / yet men die miserably every day / for lack / of what is found there.” In this episode, I share some poems for challenging times. Thank you to listeners Sue, Nancy and Robin for submissions of poems to read on this episode. I invite you to find a poem for solace and comfort, or to share poems with others.
I’ve been very busy with sewing masks for health care workers. I’m using the pattern from Craft Passion. The outside fabric is scrap cotton; the lining is 100% cotton flannel, and the elastic is 1/4″. These masks are going the LVHN Pocono, my local hospital. So far, the feedback has been enthusiastic.
