What I've been up to . . .
Wow, where did May go?? I can't believe it's already June . . .
Let's see, at the beginning of May was MSWF, which I feel like I'm still recovering from!
Then a couple weeks later I went to Galveston for some job-related training . . . it was okay, but I would have much rather been there with B on a mini-vacation than for four full days of work!
There was a cool bronze sculpture on the pier outside my hotel of a guy feeding seagulls.
I was afraid to actually feed the seagulls myself . . . I was fearful that they might swarm me like in the movie The Birds.
One of the nights I was there I walked a few blocks over and got a veggie burger and took it back to my room to eat . . . I opened my bag and found an inordinate number of condiment packages.
Really? Do people really use that many ketchups for a single order of fries? Sheesh!!
I've also been spinning again! It's kind of strange, actually, how many spinning knitbloggers seem to be returning to their wheels lately (I'm too lazy to cite actual examples).
This past weekend, I spun up 1 oz of BFL from my Spunky Eclectic sampler . . . I meant to take pictures of the singles (which were gorgeous), but before I knew it I had navajo plied it and had it on my niddy-noddy!
The color is called "red maple", but I think it's really eggplanty . . . I may have to order more of this, because it was luscious to work with, and the color is rich rich rich!
Next up on my wheel is a bit more "practice fiber", and then I think I'll finally be ready to spin up a big project! In the meantime, I'm also trying to decide what to do with all the various-colored 1oz skeins I've spun up already -- they are each about 40-50 yards, I think. Any ideas?
