Cashmere makes for very lush and soft yarn, but it binds together as your use it. If you make a mistake, this self-felting yarn is a pain to unravel; thus, you just wasted a skein of obscenely expensive and luxe yarn. (sigh)
Your comparison of hot and humid vs. dry and warm inspired me to add a 50-word entry to my road trip diary about the landscapes we travelled through between Minden and Boise. Surprises here and there, but definitely differences in air quality. It was a tad soft and humid in Boise (probably because of the Boise and Snake Rivers. Eastern Nevada is more lush and green that the western part where we live. In Boise, we didn't need lotion while in Elko, we began to feel the air suck the moisture right out of our skin.
A cornucopia of poems. Wonderful! Odd that your Twisbe leaks - maybe it’s a dud? Haven’t seen anyone mention that as a problem with them but it sounds like another brand might suit better?
I dropped it, but then one does drop pens. It was closed, so it didn’t land on the nib or anything. I’m still working on the issue. Empty the ink reservoir and clean it, that sort of thing. I just wish I didn’t have to bother.
Fran, every bit of this piece was just wonderful! Your vacation bestowed some sort of magic. Question: How did the recipients of these marvelous poems react?
Nearly everyone gave me some money, even though I didn’t ask for it. Often, people don’t read the poem in front of me, so I don’t know the reaction. On this day, the woman I wrote the skiing poem for came back with five dollars and praise.

I flushed the pen and cleaned it with water and that seems to have fixed the problem.

I enjoyed Crow Talk as well!

Hi, Janet, thanks!
