Day 296 is January 21 and Friday and my day off. I choose a variegated purple, gold and green. That would have been really useful yesterday! But I suppose if I’d wanted it done I should have done it myself. Today, I’m finally introduced to the group. I truly don’t like early and am willing to forego breakfast for another hour to get ready. Day 295, January 20, again starts at 7:00 am. Something is making me sneeze and I don’t feel good physically on top of everything else.

It’s a really long day, ending at 8:00 pm, with a whole 30 minutes free time. I listen and try to figure out what I’m doing here. I don’t know what’s going on but I was told I don’t have to know. I try to blend in or at least stay invisible so I won’t be any problem. January 19, day 294 starts at 7:00 am with breakfast and a bunch of strangers. I already feel out of place and I’m not even there. I won’t have another minute to do anything. On a good note, I stopped at the yarn store on the way to the hotel because there’s a 7 page agenda greeting me upon arrival. Luckily I didn’t re-lock the doors when the wrecker came for the other car so I was able to get in and finally find the trunk open button before true panic set in. And of course, I’m running late as usual. First thing I do is lock the keys in the trunk with my suitcase. It’s nothing bad except getting used to where things are, etc. And I’m in a car that’s not mine, from home that is. It starts with a flight that takes 5 and one half hours. I truly love going to Austin but this trip might not be one I’ll enjoy. Day 293, January 18, and I’m on the way to Austin. I choose neon orange, like a hunting vest, but this isn’t for safety. I probably could have made it in but I needed to clean up some of my messes anyway.
The kids hit a deer and it really tore up their car. Well, I’m behind as usual, but it’s going! Day 292, January 17 is a typical Monday. And here’s another picture of the Anthropologie knock-off.
It’s not as wide as the pattern called for but it still seems wide to me.
It’s pretty but I don’t know that I like it. Debbie graciously allowed me to use her pictures.Ĭlose up of the scripted strips. I am sure Doreen was honored, amazed and even humbled by such a gift from the heart. Her text was excerpts from books her friend had given to her over the years as well as lines from poetry which had special meaning for her. Debbie’s pillow was a gift to her long-time friend Doreen, for a ‘significant’ birthday. It’s by Debbie, or yarnRx, who lives in New Brunswick, Canada.
While viewing the posted finished projects I ran across one that I really thought was nice. Today “pillow book” usually means a collection of thoughts that can reflect a certain time in a person’s life, either yours or someone else’s. Sei's “pillow book” was finished in the year 1002. It consists of personal messages and private thoughts, or can even be quotations or a story. I was looking around, as I often do, and ran across the coolest project ever! It’s called “The Pillow of Sei Shonagon”, and is from a book called “Knitalong: Celebrating the Tradition of Knitting Together”, by Larissa Golden Brown and Martin John Brown. It’s a great site with patterns, pictures, yarn, ideas and just general information on things you can do. There’s a site for knitters, or just people who work with yarn in general called Ravelry.
