The house that fiber built

Bill's got a temporary 8 week out-of-house-job in an attempt to stave off the impending collapse of our fiber-built house, or at least make sure the Little Bit gets something other than handknits in his handsewn stocking. So it's just the 2 of us right now, during the day. We went to my doctor's today. Just a regular appointment, 10 weeks left, exactly, and everything is perfect minus the little hernia I have above my belly button. I thought it was, you know, that whole pregnancy-belly-button thingy but no, it's a hernia. It only hurts in the evening though, so that's something.

You may have noticed that I switched my shop update day from Monday to Friday nights. I've got good reasons. Two of them, in fact. One is that Bill is home on Monday evening and we all like to hang out and tickle each other, he's got shows on Friday nights so it's a good night for me to have to be on the computer. Reason two is more about me and how I function -- I enjoy going to the post office on Mondays, after a good Sunday spent winding and packing yarns. LB's favorite PO clerk works on Mondays and it's just more pleasent. Friday update just makes more sense, so there you've got it! Friday is the day...er...night.

And in knitting news, I'm officially done with my holiday knitting. Everyone's taken care of except Bill, who'll have to wait until I stumble past the brain block I'm having designing his sweater. It'll get done, it just may be a while. So now I'm moving on to some mindless knitting. I've started my 2nd of scout's swag, they'll be Jaywalkers and they'll be freaking amazing. I've also started a ragtag, junky sweater that's for me to lounge in. Pics upcoming. And while I know you've stopped believing me, I really do almost have a podcast done. For some reason this one has been sooo hard for me, daunting, intimidating. Once I get it behind me I hope to get kinda regular again, but this one has been a monster.

Now I'm off to dye some more wool. And spin some more Monster hats. And hug my very amazing son.

Hi Jacey,
I love your podcast, so I am excited about your next episode coming out. I'll be listening.

I also love those monster hats and your yarn. You are so creative with the things you add. It is great to hear about what you are thinking about as you spin.

You're FINISHED your holiday knitting??? I haven't even started. Clearly your life is far more organized than is mine ...

I finished my holiday knitting, too but that's because I didn't give myself any :P

I hope the hernia clears up soon, as it's probably very uncomfortable with the preggers belly.

I'll be very much looking forward to the next podcast! I discovered it recently, and love love LOVED it! It was so originaly and your segments are so creative. I hope there will be many more in the future!

Ooh, I had an umbilical hernia that showed up with my pregnancies, it sure was painful whenever I bumped into anything. I ended up scheduled a tubal ligation/hernia repair the day after I gave birth (I'm not suggesting anything to you, though, I was 41 at the time) and figured if I had needed a C section that I could do it all at once! But my girl got here with no issues, and I ended up with the hernia surgery. The good news? No more bumping into things pain and I now have an innie!

Just thought I'd let you know that your in knit scene spring 2007

They are talking about your monster hats which cements the fact that if I ever do get money I will now deffinately never end up owning such a kit...
