I\u2019m having a good time going over the patterns again, comparing them to the samples, and going over each piece meticulously. Then, when virtual knitting gets to be too much, I retreat to mindlessly knit on Mithril and clear my head.\u00a0 Seems to be a good mix for me, I\u2019m having a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Levana is a FO, and I love how it turned out.\u00a0 Levana\u2019s designer, Sivia Harding, is a contributor to Dreaming of Shetland.\u00a0 She came to the house to pick up her project, so that I didn\u2019t have to mail it.\u00a0 Not one to miss an opportunity like this, I had Bill take a picture of Levana with me and Sivia.\u00a0 What a thrill! Sivia assured me that there is no proper way to wear Levana.\u00a0 It is going to be a very versatile accessory. <a href=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WaterfallPark-9284-Edit-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-355\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WaterfallPark-9284-Edit-copy-198x300.jpg\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jedi is the only one around here who is slacking off!<a href=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-356\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/jedi-asleep-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This rain at night and clear during the day weather is really working for me.\u00a0 Wonder how long we can keep it up.\u00a0 Several projects made progress this week, which contributes to my cheery mood.\u00a0 The Dreaming of Shetland project, a dream-funder for Deb Robson, has been rolling right along.\u00a0 Bill is doing final polishing [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[34,33,32,31,21],"class_list":["post-352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-dreaming-of-shetland","tag-jedi","tag-mithril","tag-plucky","tag-sivia-harding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":362,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352\/revisions\/362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
