A Scroll Through My Blogroll

In an effort to try to keep this blog fresh, I'm going to be embarking on the first of many scrolls through the blogroll. Safari has a neat feature, tabs within the window, so this morning I shut down and then restarted Safari so that Saft would recall the URLs from the previous session. Here's what I discovered this morning, while reading through the blogs on the Metro going to work ...

Bay Colony Farm is thinking about getting fleeces at the local college. Hopefully the fleece will be nice without so much VM. I have had my share of fleece with lots of VM, and believe me, it's no fun to try to pick these out. And you still don't manage to get it all out.

Speaking of socks, cindyknits says that knitting the second sock is a chore, which I wholeheartedly agree. I've got three socks for which the companion socks need to be knit. And I need to get going on my knitting for Baby Hall ... Tipper is spinning up some really lovely yarn for socks. I like the colors but I don't really have any yarn with this particular color shade. I think I still have superwash wool somewhere, but I don't think I labeled it. I think I know which bag it is ... hopefully I get it correct.

At smatterings' abode, the orchids are blooming, and are these beautiful! My mother loves and grows orchids. She gave me a tip - don't put blooming orchids outside because insects will eat the blossoms. I don't know which insects, but I'm going to listen to her advice. One of my orchids is starting to bloom - small blossoms that smell of cinnamon. I can't wait for it to fully bloom. I'm sorry about her not being able to get the vegetable garden prepared in a timely manner and wish her the best of luck in getting those 57 day varieties. I do need to get my vegetable garden prepared - perhaps this weekend? Right now it's covered with grass cuttings in an effort to kill off the weeds. Need to remember to take a picture of it . . .

Catherine D. was able to sell the Spring 1999 issue of Knitter for a price higher than books from She Who Must Not Be Named??? Must remember to take a look at the issue when I get home.

Well, now I've got to close this out and upload the post while I still have access to the unprotected wireless service as I wait for this likely-to-be false alarm to end at my office building as I type this, 8:30am. And I had only just gotten comfy in my office for the past 10 minutes. What a way to start the week.
