The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

The bigger box would kinda be overkill...unless I find a buncha other things to send 'em.
*sigh* I've been trying for two days to get in touch with either the folks at home or Jim, and no luck on either. I need that address!
To: RosieCotton
Grr. How annoying! They should answer when you call.

I'm guessing they're over at a friends' house or something. They wouldn't ignore the phone, so it's not that.
To: All
Took a picture of the blanket I'm sending to my new sister-in-law for Christmas (though it's lookin' like it'll be late...). Anyone that crochets at all knows that the ripple pattern is just barely above straight stitching - vey simple and kinda boring...but I still think it turned out nice!
Sorry the picture is so big...

She's having some a/some pin(s) put in the foot she broke during the play...
He's having surgery in his mouth tomorrow... so they'll both be out of commission for a while :~\

Nothing wrong with a simple patten :D
My baby blanket is a simple ripple pattern. It functions adequately for it's intended purpose

You have a baby blanket? Why?
Her crocheting was awesome. She was unstoppable. If she was in NaNoCrochetMo, she'd have won easily.

Glad to hear it.
Corin, come back after your surgery, you can still talk to us, right?

I want to find an easy pattern for a capelet...maybe even one I could extend into a cape to use as a winter dress "coat". But I'm a total beginner...a lot of patterns are intimidating, and/or want you to use really fancy, expensive yarn.
To: HairOfTheDog
Good to hear! Thanks for the update!
To: TalonDJ
One of us had a ripple blanket...John, I think. It's still around so far as I know, and I have fond memories of it (I stole it to use for dolls later on), so I guess it served its purpose. ;-)
I just wanted to do something a bit more meaningful - for me, if not for them - than just running out and buying a few sets of onesies, though of course things like that are needed, too.
To: JenB
I still have one of my baby blankets, and a lot of us (brothers included) still have teddy bears or the like. Kinda cool, actually. Hopefully some of them end up going to our kids.
As for the speed of this project...well, all I can say is, if they have another baby...next time I'll start the blanket about when I find out, instead of making something in three weeks. Ouch!
To: no one in particular

Tam was not amused.
To: RosieCotton
I lurk at an online forum called Crochetville...have you heard of it? Patterns or links to patterns are posted all the time.
