Swiftly, turning

My yarn swift doing its thing.
One of the greater pleasures of knitting is its unchanging technology. Needles, yarn, an umbrella swift (admittedly new-fangled, harking back to the 18th century), hands--essentially unaltered over time.

Next week is the autumn equinox.





Roving, hand-dyed by Neuroknitter, recently appeared in the garden.

As did this strange fruit.  Correctly identify it before September 22nd, and I'll send you my personal copy of  Woolly Thoughts:  How to Unlock Your Creative Genius, by Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer.
