See, this is just one more reason why I love the Net, and why blogging keeps me going.
Andrea James of Runcible Spoon is a young woman I met (virtually), more than six years ago, when she lived in the U.S. and posted comments on my son’s original weblog (long since defunct). Now she lives in, and recently became a citizen of, Australia. She is also learning how to spin and dye wool.
Andrea knew that I’ve been contemplating a new http://www.freeformcrochet.com/ project, and I told her I would love to have some hand spun and died yarn to use as a main ingredient. And so she whipped up a skein for me and wrapped it in the label, the image of which is above.
You can see the color of the yarn on her site.
Of course, I can’t get going on any new project until I take care of the dozens of sprouting seedlings that are going to need a better home until this blustery Northeast weather calms down. Feh.

Sounds like a strange combination to me, but that’s how I tested.
I was doing a little blog hopping last night, and I wound up at Deep Thoughts, where there was a link to a test to determine what philosophy you follow. Here are my results:

You scored as Existentialism. Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life. “Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.” –Jean-Paul Sartre “It is man’s natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.” –Blaise Pascal More info at Arocoun’s Wikipedia User Page… Existentialism 100% Hedonism 65% Kantianism 50% Justice (Fairness) 45% Utilitarianism 45% Strong Egoism 40% Nihilism 5% Divine Command 0% Apathy 0% What philosophy do you follow? (v1.03) created with QuizFarm.com

What really bothers me is that my sense of justice came out at 45%. Something’s wrong here. But then, again, it’s all relative.
