Is this week over yet?

1193 yards from 4 oz
Merino Bamboo Tussah Silk

I opted out of this fucked up week a few days ago and it was one of the better decisions I've ever made.   I don't know what day it is, what time it is or WTF is going.

Thankfully, I have BBC America On Demand to keep me company while I spin and try not to think too much.  So far, so good.   Lots of spinning and plying and other stuff.  

The above yarn was spun last week... whenever that was... and plied on the first day of the Tour.  Then I got down to spinning the Cupcake Fiber Co fluff.  I've done a box of sock fiber.  Lovely 3-ply in a great colorway that I'll show you once I count the yardage.  Assuming I survive the counting.  I'm not totally sure I will, but time will tell.

Currently working on that sweaters worth of Shetland from the Meat Sheep Industries.  It's going well and I'm already thinking about the plying.  Should I fill all my standard bobbins and ply on the jumbo flyer?  Or should I ply onto a standard size bobbin?  I've got time to figure that out but not that much time.  Ya know?  

& No, using cores is not an option.  I know someone would like that but I really don't relish the thought of having to wind off singles onto cores and ply from them.  I sort of feel like it's better to limit how much handling the singles get before plying.  

Does that even make sense?

There's more lace weight to show off but you'll have to wait.  Unless the bitches hiding out in the azaleas want to get photos and share them around.  They might, ya know.  They do need a proper hobby.  Hanging out in my azaleas, waiting for me to do something, so they can be in the know is not a proper hobby.  In fact, it's a sign of being mentally unstable, but whatever.  

At least, they scared the squirrels away.


Happy Whatever The Fuck Day It Is!

I only know what day it is because tomorrow is my day off...
I'm with you on the winding off of singles. If I'm messing with a bobbin of singles, I want to end up with yarn, not something that's still singles.

I can't help you figure out what day it is. I thought yesterday was Tuesday only to find out I was wrong, wrong, wrong. /sigh
Pretty yarn! Reminds me of Neopolitan ice cream. :D
Happy (whichever) day!

WOW! You're a spinning wild woman!! I love your pink. It's beautiful and delicate looking. I'm still slogging away on my Cabin Cove and will continue until it's done. Then, I'm gonna start on something of Joan's. This morning I awakened to a humming sound in my bathroom. I think that will make for an interesting weekend......even though I don't want one. And, if the bitches are hanging in your azaleas, then they aren't on your porch. We take those little gifts as they come, dumplin'. Hang on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are bitches in your azaleas? Sounds like the name of a bad country song.

[Ruth]

Sometimes checking out for a few days is the safest road to survival.

[margene]

Someone is stalking you? I didn't realize you caused so much trouble in your neighborhood.
Someday your spun skeins are going to take over the world.

[Cheryl S.]

Bitches in the azaleas? Sounds intriguing. Lovely yarn. Of course.

Dude, I'm unemployed and stranded in Pittsburgh. I haven't know what day it is since May. Here's hoping the next week is a better one! (Whenever that is...)

[Annie]

Busted! I didn't think you could see me out in the azaleas....

You are a wild woman. And wild women don't get the blues -- I saw that on a poster in a friend's office. It's okay to get the crazies and the vehemently annoyed, I guess, but not the blues.

I like that yarn. Even though it's pink. Soft and smooshed-chocolate-covered-cherries pink. Mmm.

But hading in the azaleas gives me something to do!!

I swear last week was made up of nothing but Mondays, it sucked so badly.

I am all too aware of what day it is because it's day 4 of a 5 day work reprieve. One more day and then it's back to work. And I picked 5 of the hottest days of the year to take off.

I've been spinning and plying when I can stand to touch the fiber. It's disconcerting to try to eat food and find out there's fiber in it. The stuff sticks to everything when it's this hot.

Gorgeous spinning!

[Natalie]

Can't you spray for bitches in the azaleas?

You're a crazy spinning machine. 1193 yds in 4oz? And more stuff on the way that you couldn't be bothered to take progress shots of? Crazy spinning machine.

I like the option of opting out on a week. Lord knows there are weeks I could use that! Pretty pinks! I like that shade a lot.

[Stacey]

I wanted to burn my week to the ground. I may decide to opt out of the next 6 weeks.

This too shall pass? Even if it takes a big shove off a cliff.

[Angie]

I think that Natalie is right about the spray for the pests.

Your merino/bamboo/silk yarn looks lovely.
