i got up with bernie this morning
at 4:30 to stoke the fire
living with a woodstove is like having another pet.....you have to feed it regularly
meanwhile
i have been winding silk
more specifically....
silk from Spirit Trail, from RHINEBECK this past fall ( 2007)
and the pictures do not do it justice
it is a warm and glowing late-ish fall russet coloring
that blends softly through the golds, and russets and bittersweets and melons of late fall prior to all the leaves coming down
i am still trying to find a pattern that will make the most of it
i thought.....fichu.....
i have two patterns for them
or i could make up my own
i would like something suggestive of leaves
i probably would really like it beaded.....
in a sort of gypsy sort of way
i was originally thinking a sort of narrow shawl..../scarf
but maybe a fichu would be better.....
with a leaf boarder
and acorn shaped beads dropping of alternating points?
hmmmmm
