NaNoWriMo

Characters unite! Plot outline done and well into planning the characters. I am in awe of the way these characters demand to be given the role they want. It is important to listen, after all, it's their story. So, inaccordance with the NaNo rules I can plan all I like before Nov 1st - but I must not "write" the narrative. Fine. From this side of the challenge, the planning is a huge element of the writing, but we'll see as November passes.

Bit hard to have a picture for this entry - I'm not about to paint the characters or scenes (not today anyway).

This may be tantalising (or not). It is the deserted village of Palia Potamia taken by the photographer Nikos Papagiannakis and may provide some scenic inspiration in the next few days.

Spinning randomly

Randomly spinning small quantities of tops then Navaho plying them to maintain the colour separations has created a beret with circles. The pattern by Diane Mulholland is freely available on Ravelry and can be used with all types of yarns because it is based on a swatch. It was knitted in the round starting at the brim and working inwards. Approx 12 wpi.

Great Beanie Picnic

This lovely soft yarn from a EGMTK batt was sold at the Great Beanie Picnic held on 20th February for the exhibition of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival Travelling Show . The lady who bought it has at least one beanie in the show - she wasn't sure if she would use it for Art Beanie or for herself. either way it has gone to a good home. Most people seemed to be poking around looking for a bargain, and as any spinner knows fine blends don't come cheap! Still we had a good afternoon and I was able to demonstrate/teach a few younger people to drop spindle and showed them how to make a CD spindle of their very own.
