Spinning on Sunday
Today, I washed yarn. I soaked my three skeins of handspun and hung them to dry, and they’ve been dripping in the hallway ever since. I’ve got the lid for my soaking-tub underneath to catch the drips.
And I started spinning my Twist and Shout “Sock Hop” roving. Blues, greens, splashes of pinkish-purple, and white to keep it bright. All so pretty.
Chappy, though, got a little bored and headed off to his crate for some napping. He does so love that yellow afghan of his!
Otherwise? I made pancakes for breakfast, and baked a cake. We took Chappy out for a walk before it got too hot. I spent some serious time reading this afternoon which was completely nice and relaxing, if not particularly helpful for the whole, Debbie-needs-to-write thing. But hey. At least the spinning looks good, right?
Now? I’m off to finish my review for New England Knits, a book which I LOVED. That brown sweater I’m knitting? Yep, that’s where it’s from. The book is just that good.

nice spinning! Something must be in the air, atalker kitty has seemed a bit off as well. I just received New england Knits in the mail the other day, have not gotten to peek at it yet though. (i figured a native new england girl should own this one!) Off to respond to craigslist emails. Lol, put daughters beetle up for sale last night as it will not go to college with her. it will pay some of the dorm/meal and book fee’s!
So pretty! (I washed and hung handspun on Sunday too!) $5 per skein of Peace Fleece is pretty good. I’ll ask DH about the iTunes thing and see if he has any suggestions… he’s done it, but it may have been in the older version of iTunes.
