Rainy Saturday

It’s been raining for a week here, not constantly, but a lot of the time. When it hasn’t been raining there’s been a heavy overcast. So we haven’t been doing anything outdoors. I did a little knitting today, went over to Creative Warehouse to ask what’s happening with the Addi I ordered a month ago (they don’t know, but say they’ll check on it); stopped at Knits and Pieces, and this time wasn’t intimidated by all the people sitting around the table knitting, but looked around at the small but gorgeous selection of yarns they had (I think more or less nothing but luxury yarns). If I want Filatura di Crosa that’s where I’ll head.

Yesterday I stopped in at the library to pick up Knitting For Anarchists, which I had put in a request for. Janine had recommended it to me back in March after I posted a comment to her blog. She’s right! It’s a wonderful book.

We made kreplach, that’s yiddish for won tons (ours had a filling of ground-up chicken from a previous chicken soup), for supper. And I just took two loaves of whole wheat bread out of the oven.
