Is it Wind or Wind?

English, you’ve gotta love it. Sometimes pronunciation can be tricky. You think it is one thing and it turns out to be something else.

How did you read the title? Wind with a short i as in a windy day or is it wind, with a long i, as in yarn winder.

Last week I had fun with some yarn winding, knitting, and reading. Towards the end of last week I started out with some lovely soft white merino wool by Cascade Yarns.

The first job was to wind it into a ball. Do you have a yarn winder? It makes a center pull ball of yarn in no time. I usually put the hank of wool around the arms of the rocking chair and wind from there.

The knitting pattern I’m doing is a mobius scarlet, found on Craftster. It’s knit on bamboo circular needles of 5.5 mm

I’ve also started another book in the Kate Shackleton series, Murder on a Summer’s Day. In this one Kate is asked to find a missing Indian maharaja. I’m not that far into he book yet but will be sure to share the review when I’m finished.

The wind, with a short i, is sending hundreds of leaves falling into the garden on a daily basis. The Autumn colours are gorgeous, but such a lot of work to gather up.

The night temperatures are dropping down to around 0 Celsius and we have had the odd bit of frost. Some areas in Ontario to the north of us have some some wet snow flurries already. I sure hope they don’t head down our way anytime soon.

I’m sharing with Yarn Along and Alphabet-Thursday, where the letter this week is W. W for wind or wind, depending nohow you pronounce it
