"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

The Crocus Progress


Poor old Crocus has been placed on hold so I can get some baby clothes knitted. Had hoped to wear it to The Drum Theatre last Saturday but the urgent baby clothes thing came up on the Thursday. Never mind, it ought to be finished for a performance of "Madame Butterfly" by Oz Opera in a few weeks. Have just received a mountain of lace weight ready for dyeing. Am expecting to use some of this on Susan Pandorf's Iris (but probably without the beads).

I wish there were more minutes in every hour......I seem to always be running short of the time to get the things done that I want.
