10 hours in the car. Four hours of stops. OMG. OMG. But at least interesting stops? Even if my hips want to retire from service now because of all the time my delightful dog spent in my lap. (But really, gotta savor that right now, so I shan't complain too much.) Am home from [beach] now.
I made a bracelet in the car using some handspun leftover from when I made the hat. Note that there is STILL yarn left.

Celtic twist inspired bracelet, i.e. a knit cord of white handspun yarn twisted around a knit cord of green machine spun yarn turned into a bracelet (for the curious, I knit a bobble on one end and made a loop on the other for the closure. Probably a proper tutorial to follow later. And I might put this or something like it on Etsy when I have the spoons.
There is a box of THREE POUNDS of wool waiting for me, and I haven't opened it yet because I don't think my hips will let me spin today. Knitting it is!
I am supposed to rest but there is All The Unpacking and lots of other shit and I don't wanna rest I wanna do. But given that every time I stand up, I faceplant unless I have my walker...I think resting is called for. Dammit.

If anyone wants a bunch of beach photos, I have a Flickr set up.
Sanura has composed Thor's Epic, the Battle of Manhattan in iambic pentameter. Go. Read.
alee_grrl and myself co-wrote a post on poetree yesterday about using poetry to heal from bullying/trauma. It includes two sections of meta (one from each of us) and a collaborative haikai. (Partially inspired by recent posts by staranise ).
