The knitting group at work has decided to all knit socks for their next project, but I haven’t finished my sweater yet, and I have two whole sleeves to knit! I think I’m falling behind. I got to this complicated spot in the pattern and kept making a mistake, ripping it out, trying it again,and making a mistake again. Plus, this part is mohair, so it’s really tangly to rip out! It’s frustrating.

I’ve seem them twice, and never planned it. Once in the dead of winter, and once in the summer (!) on the Keewenaw in Michigan. My uncle told us it was the wrong time of year to see them, and that we were all smoking ‘funny tobacco’, but I know what I saw. It looked like a light accordion, or organ, silently blowing off ‘notes’
But I don’t think this is a goal you can plan. It’s just one of those wonderful things you have to just let happen to you.
