Eyes: 100 Days (70)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 70: 

Today I made one further adjustment to the eye granny square, and I think I am finally happy with it.  I undid some of the work I had done a few years ago to put some of the squares together before I abandoned the project, and counted the squares I have—62.  I want to research different ways to put together a granny square sweater, because I kind of like the idea of setting them on an angle.  But then I think I need to learn how to do half granny squares: Hmmmm. Traditional evil eyes are blue, but I am going to make some green and brown as well.

Feels weird not to write a poem.

Beltane Moon: 100 Days (68)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 68:

I experimented with granny square eyes this evening. I think I have a pattern I can work with now (upper left corner of the X in the photo with the granny square in the middle). It ends up being a little larger than the other granny squares, but I think if I block the squares well, it should be okay.

And it’s the last day of Poem-a-Day writing for National Poetry Month. Whew. I’m a little pooped out from doing two projects at once. Next year, I think I might have to weave Poetry month into the 100 Days (make it all poetry?) or forego April Poetry completely.

Beltane Moon
by Beth Weaver-Kreider

Wood thrush calling over the hill by the pond
and moon caught in sycamore branches.
Chill breeze awakens, enlivens the skin,
a green fragrance rising from the fields.
What is calling you back to life?
Who is speaking your name in the shadows?

Longing: 100 Days (66)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 66:

Today was a problem-solving day. I think the shrug is going to be okay! I got one sleeve crocheted together, and I’ll manage the other tomorrow during crochet club after school. I also made a smaller eye that I think will work for the granny square sweater. I just need to get that black layer around the outside.

Longing

The Bird of Longing will sing in your soul.
Her brilliant wings will unfurl within you.
Her bright eye will lead you to your deepest desire.
