What is that smell?

That is the question the poor little lizard would be asking if I had found him anywhere near my house this afternoon.
Unwilling to be daunted by the lack of a washing machine, this is week three without as we are waiting on a part, I decided to felt the hat I knit by hand. Can't be that difficult right?
It really is a simple procedure, the problem really is the smell. My whole house smells like wet wool. Decidedly unpleasant.
I decided to block a lace shawlette I finished ages ago since the worst it could do was smell exactly like the rest of the house.
I find myself inordinately pleased that the next quick projects I am working on are shopping bags, made out of cotton.
The lizard stopped to pose for me while we were in the mountains a couple of weeks ago, unable to go hiking as planned with the trails closed due to extreme fire hazard, so we had a picnic just outside the barriers instead. :-)

Started a new blog

  Oooh Shiny! is now on WordPress.  There isn't much there yet, but I will work on that.
