Bible Themed Organic Bars
For those of you who are getting tired of your usual power bars (I know I am!), and feel that they just don't power you the way they used to -- they're missing something, though you don't know what -- despair not! It turns out that the problem is that you're probably not consuming power bars that are spiritual enough, a problem easily fixed by buying Bible Themed Organic Bars. (For those of you following the Weight Watchers plan, they work out to 4 points apiece, which is a bit high, but just THINK of how much better you'll feel after you eat one!) I must admit that I haven't yet figured out exactly why, other than their names, these bars are so spiritual. Oh, I guess it's the sesame seeds. (Thanks, as usual, to Fr. Bryce over at Saintly Salmagundi for the link -- how does he find this stuff?)
Knitting Content (I'm determined to keep my place in the Knitting Blog Webring, and so am very careful to include it): The Mosaic and Mirror scarf is not a walk in the park. I like the feel of the fibers, and I like the drape of the scarf, and lord knows I like the sequins, but the fibers are very hard to control. I've already discussed the problems with the fabric unraveling too easily when you drop a stitch -- that's a problem with the Mosaic; the Mirror is also problematic, as it falls off the ball and tangles.
Really, reading this, you'd think I was either clumsy or unskilled, and neither is true. I'm nimble, and I've been knitting for over 40 years, and I enjoy difficult projects. I would do this project again -- indeed, I might pick up more of these two dreadful fibers, as a present for someone someday. (The present being the scarf I might knit from them, not the fibers themselves.) They're well worth the difficulty. BUT. I think if you're a new knitter, you would do well to stay away from these fibers for a while, till your confidence and patience are firm.
It's W.B. Yeats's birthday, by the way -- I will arise and go now.
