Let’s see, top, Little Lovely Malabrigo laceweight, middle, Stonechat Malabrigo silk/merino, bottom, 510-yard balls of Creatively Dyed sock weight–that’s 4310 yards and many hours saved for me, all cheerfully wound by (formerly) No-Blog Rachel today while we chatted. Did I mention she’s an angel?

She looked out my window at one point at all the activity going on: “You’ve got a nature preserve out there!”  I laughed, thinking of a guy back home back in the day who got fined for not cutting his grass.  He took it to court, telling the judge he’d created a nature preserve–there in the middle of Potomac, Maryland, the pricey and well-manicured town of many a political and media celebrity.

And also the town that runs alongside part of the C&O Canal National Park and part of the Cabin John Creek watershed preserve that runs for ten miles.  Those birds and animals needed more connecting points.

The judge was totally cool with the guy’s point of view.  Case dismissed.

Now, ‘scuse me, I’ve got some major knitting to go do. Thank you, Rachel!
