The Idler

I've been a bit mentally consumed with that lovely swing seat from the previous post. Of course, with the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, I'm sure life in a swing seat, at least in my backyard, would not be the blissful interlude that Alice Ashley enjoyed.

So instead I've taken to imagining myself there with the help of this relaxing video from the manufacturer of The Idler:



When I said the knitting was easy in that last post, I was using the adverb easy - without undue speed or excitement; without worry or care - just the way summer knitting should be, even if it cannot be done in an Idler.

The Idler reminds me of a glider swing my aunt had when I was little. The kind with two seats facing each other and you pushed the "floor" with your feet to make it swing. Always wished we had one at our house.

But you're right...we would have to put it on a screened porch or the mosquitos would carry us away!

When you find that perfect spot give me a holler and I'll come knit and swing you! Rocking and swinging is my favorite while knitting...

It's either swinging or knitting, not both. Reminds me of those 30's movies in the country, on the perfect day. There are scenes in Pride and Prejudice like this, just no Idler.

What perfection. Just add a small bag of M"Ms.
