While Lynn is off rebelling in her new Loom Room, I’m only making half-hearted attempts to throw off my chains. Since part of my work involves an actual contract and a deadline, I can’t just cast that project aside. I can, however, continue to rethink whether or not I’m making good decisions.
See, I’ve been busy. And, I now have this to show for it:
That’s just under 4oz of 2-ply BFL, spun to be 18/2 yarn. According to my skein winder (and thank heavens for that thing!), it’s just over 1200 yards, which works out to ~5000ypp. Now I just need to hustle my butt and get it turned into a thing. But, I think I need to spin up just a bit more “safety yarn” because, well, stuff happens.
And while I’m hustling up that safety yarn, I can get my vest fabric on and off the loom. I think winding that warp is tomorrow morning’s job. I really, REALLY need to get it done. I’m just a bit worried about being able to do so. Then again, if I turn the draft, I can weave with a single shuttle. And that’s way faster.
Argh. Too many things. Then again, it could be worse, yanno? Because this weekend is Spring in The Sierra. And there were these:
And more of this:
And the occasional one of these:
All of those, are here:
I think the procrastinating was worth it.
I am so jealous – my daffodils haven’t even poked their heads out of the earth (snow), much less bloomed.
And skinny handspun! What will it become, if you can tell me?
