what i see in my head
often does not translate well into the physical world.
i am forever erasing or unraveling and starting again.
john, however, got it just right
with these shots of ‘quench (the cascade 220 version)’.
the
final
pattern

form

coming

soon

Cable #2 has been to two Wisconsin State parks,
a mother’s day brunch at a fancy restaurant,
and rode 150 miles in the car this weekend.
Cable #2 has learned the piano and the harp vicariously
by listening to 2 weeks of Ranwenharp teaching lessons.
Cable #2 moonlights as a wrist cushion when using a Braille machine.
When it was younger,
it worked part-time as a bookmark,
but soon grew too big for it’s britches and got the boot.
Cable #2 is having a love affair with the smallest cable needle in the bag.
(Please don’t tell the other cable needles
– they’d feel so rejected.)
Cable #2 is a fan of Don Knotts movies and the X-Files…

to all the ‘quench’ mystery bag kal gals,
how’s your second cable doing these days?
poem by sunny link.
‘listening’ taken from 25:12 in proverbs.
it has become very, very clear
that the talent oozing out the the fingers of the mystery bag kal participants
extends to oh so much more than knitting.
they showered me with these tasty morsels monday night:
Thinking, Thinking
But Not Tinking;
Better Knitting
Right, Not Wrong.
Purling, Casting
Sometimes Fasting;
Just to Finish
This Knit Along
Our hands lay dormant
Itching for inspiration
Your post holds the key
“what to do”??
How ‘bout a clue??
Layin’ it on thick
certainly does the trick!
Clue #2 is now posted
Although, a bit toasted!
🙂
i laughed. i smiled. then i went ahead and released the clue early.
after all, that’s what knitting friends are for. right?
“finish’ taken from 8:11 of 2nd corinthians
…did the mystery bag kal start a day early? because it could.

‘question’ taken from 21:24 of matthew.
this clever rhyme was written by roxanne (embroiderybee).
she captures, better than i could, the wait.
A Talitha bag that’s secret;
I ‘ve been told to sit and wait
For instructions so mysterious,
It makes me salivate.
I’m doggone tired of waiting
And I’m pressured to the bone.
I want to Quench my thirst to knit.
I’m sure I’m not alone.
This bag should be named ”Hold On”
As I clutch my yarn and cry.
There’s nothing worse than waiting,
Like my grass that grows to die.
With lots of time to ponder,
I keep practicing my gauge.
I’ll soon be tired of Stockinette,
Hope cables will be the rage.
Now, please forgive my Whimper
As I blow off lots of steam.
I’m sure this KAL will be
The bag that’s in my dream.
