Labor Day Media Monday + S3 - day 6

Until more pinafore/jumpers get sewn, there are really only a limited number of changes to be rung with my small wardrobe. I wore this very same outfit on day 13 of MeMadeMay; the voile blouse is nice for warm days, and the chambray jumper is also fairly lightweight.

After all the plumbing issues on Saturday, methought that it would be a good idea to find out if there was a divinity responsible for the oversight of such things... My Google-fu proved feeble, and so a query was sent off to Margaret, who writes the delightful blog FinneganBeginAgain - if anyone would be able to find out the information, she could...and she did! Sending a reply not even 24 hours later, we now know that the goddess Cloacina, who started as an Etruscan goddess of marital bliss, was in charge of the great sewer of Rome, and by extension, all such things. Perhaps a small shrine would be a good addition to the necessary room, and research into suitable offerings needs to be done as well...

It is finally almost cool enough that knitting seems appealing. I've started in on another test knit, for a stripey moebius scarf/cowl. Never having done that technique before makes me a perfect guinea pig. Noro Chirimen is my yarn of choice, the blend of cotton, silk, and wool has a nice soft hand, with a very rustic texture. The moebius knitting is very weird, hopefully it will work out, though it looks quite odd right now, seeming to change texture right in the center, though of course since it has that half twist, you just keep knitting around and around. Should be interesting, and the results will be a soft warm neck cozy, perfect for cool autumn evenings, a good addition to SelfStitchedSeptember
