Lightning
Last night there was a bright shock of white and a loud boom simultaneously outside our front door. It was startling.

Later on the news I heard that just a few blocks away one of our lovely shingle style homes here in South Orange had been hit and badly damaged by fire caused by the lightning. What a loss – such a lovely home – one I’ve admired for so long!

Silk
Recently I received the fashion forecast from Classic Elite, they say that silks and silk blends are the hot fiber for 2006. I love silk, I use it as much as I can. It seems such a miracle fiber to me – how odd that humans should even be aware of and able to utilize the fine silk strands. I’m finishing up a sample of the Ribbed Corset in Artyarns Regal Silk. It’s been an exquisite adventure, and it knit up very quickly. Today I’ll add some small cap sleeves and then express it off to them to take to TNNA.
