New yarn for triangle scarves

I am too bloddy tired to be doing this but here it goes:

Yes, I'm going to make two of these Drops Scarves and just make a pair of Raggedy-Ann-sort-of-looking-left-over-bit socks out of the original yarn choice. I originally saw these socks in Reverly, in one of the many sock groups there, the thrifty sockers comes to mind, and they shared a lot of pictures of amazing looking sox made from bits and pieces.

This yarn is Garn Studios (Drops) and is called "Delight". It's a sock weight, and the usual blend for that. As you can see, it's Pink and purples blend and Purples and greens. It's a soft yarn, but not overly so, and the colors are truly beautiful, as you can see, even with flashy flashy overload.

We had a very quiet Halloween, hardly two dozen kidlets. I think that, on the whole, it is better for children to have so many options, like carnivals at schools and church, and even shopping centers but it's still fun to see the few who do come around to trick or treat. They are happy and very adorable in their costumes. We will decorate a little more next year, and maybe put jack o lanterns in the windows of the house as well as the RV, and lots of spider webs! Not just the real ones either!



I'm still reading Amelia Peabody Mysteries. I can't say enough positive things about these mysteries. Ramses is Amelia's and Emerson's son, Nefret is their ward. The entire cast of characters periodically are living on a large boat on the Nile, near Luxor. Nasir is the steward.

EDIT:  Unfortunately I tripped over my tongue and put in a spoiler, but I hope you didn't see it!  I've removed it.



Here's an quote to show the wit that is in these books:

"When Ramses returned to the saloon, Nasir was setting the table for dinner. He was less clumsy than he had been, but he had found a new excuse to linger by folding the napkins into intricate shapes. His ambition exceeded his skill; tonight's effort was probably meant to be a flying bird, though it more resembled a decapitated duck. Ramses dismissed him with a few brusque words and went to stand by Nefret, who was curled up on the divan.

'You hurt his feeling,' she said reproachfully.
'Stop him doing that, then. It takes forever to untie the knots.'"

At some point I'll have to read the stack of formidable non fiction I've been accruing, but-- it --can --wait. The damage to the economy is long done, stretching back to policies set in motion in the 80's by a moron listening to the most greedy bastards that lived at that time, and all we are trying to do now is get the damn ship to stop swaying and listing.

We'll see who has enough common sense and respect for the country to work hard to let the present Commander and Chief run the country and solve this, or whether the Ship of State will keep swaying and listing into oblivion, with the Commander and Chief aiding and abetting.  FDR would have removed more than a few people's nether parts by now, Supreme court rulings or not.

"We, the people" seem to have come out of the worm hole of space they fell into when The Jobs all were outsourced, the military machine got all the education money, and the Constitution - with all those tricky and expedient civil rights - was being trashed. Now with fingers pointing in all the wrong directions, they are all grabbing at the helm like crazed and drunken sailors who have seen the port side guns fall into the sea. We, who are left to report it all, have to see what will become of our voyage to a better world.

Ah well, another tale for another day.

EDIT: I've come back to correct a lot of mistakes that last night's fatigue caused to be strewn all the way through this little diatribe.  Sorry.  There should be a lock on my computer after 9 pm.   Gee, I hope I got them all!
