I seriously think someone could have lied to me yesterday about the whole "this too shall pass" thing. Geez. The short people were pretty good last night and amazingly, Kat dressed herself while waiting for me to change her brother this morning. She picked out her clothes (not a first but at least they matched today) and stripped off her jammies. I did have to orient her shirt properly and help her get her second leg into the pants, but she did the rest (except shoes). When the heck did she get big enough to do that?!
I managed to get the monkeys in bed just in time to catch the start of ‘24′. Two hours of ‘24′. Two excellent hours of the show. At the end of the two hours? Two full bobbins of plied yarn. Sara is surveying my work for consistency and otherwise acceptibility. Amazingly the one in front, the larger one mind you, is more of the BL/Wensleydale from the Lendrum, took 45 minutes to finish. The other is the peachy mix from the Tina and took almost 75 minutes to ply. You can’t see the color variations in the tensel/merino ply right now. I’m hoping that when I have it skeined up, I can get a good shot under either the Ott light or {gulp} the actual sun so you can see its goodness.
Nope, didn’t skein it, but will shortly as I have a new toy scheduled to arrive tomorrow. A skein winder accessory for the Majacraft wheel! Wee. It attaches in place of the flyer and will turn when the wheel is treadled.
Majacraft Wheelskeiner: this will fit onto the flyer shaft of
all Majacraft wheels and makes it very convenient to skein your spun
yarn from the bobbin. It also allows for variable skein sizes.
How cool is that? Now I’m doubly glad I picked up that Suzie Pro last fall. Darn neat-o attachment. UPS tracking predicts delivery tomorrow.
Umm that whole focus thing? Nevermind 
I barely did any knitting yesterday besides about an inch on the sleeve at lunch. I was busy reading. I finished Stephen King’s latest, Cell. Awesome book. It had serious shades of The Stand (which is my favorite of his) and is his best in a while. Now that its done, I can go back and do some knitting. Darn Klaralund should have been finished already. Pokey thing.
Craft on!
