I is for

Little green iPod Nano.

I really am indulging my whims lately. It’s practical, because I’ll have a lot more time to listen to books and music in the coming months. It’s also just so darn cute that it makes me smile. There you go — it has healing properties!

I finished this scarf the other day and blocked it yesterday. The yarn is Spirit Trail Fiberworks Ixchel, 100% Prime Alpaca in “Soft Greens.” I love the way it turned out — the way the little blocks play against each other, the way the colors shift across the surface, the incredible luxury of the yarn. Now all I have to do is write up the pattern and hope that Jennifer likes it enough to display it in her booth this Fall.

I had to have something small to work on along with the big Tuscany shawl, so I found a pattern in my Ravelry queue that looked just the right amount of mindless. They’re Megan Humphrey’s Artichoke Socks, and I’m using Sundara’s sock yarn in “Peacock and Purple.” I’ll probably finish them in the next few days, so I’ll wait to post a photo.

I’m determined to catch up on my ABC’s, so look for my J in the next few days. I’ll make it to M yet!

My gratitude to all of you who have commented or emailed continues to deepen. I’m floating along on the gentle waves of love and energy that you’re sending, and finding that staying afloat isn’t such a difficult thing to do after all.
