But so fun!
One cloven sock down, one to go. I’m pretty happy with the way this one came out, no pattern just my usual top down sock recipe modified to accomodate some toe separation and my favorite shoes.
I’ve been spinning on some 100% silk that was sold to me as merino/tencel, I hadn’t ever seen pure silk before and I guess the gal who sold it me wasn’t paying attention. THe silk is fun but the frickin stuff sticks to everything! I had to use a lap cloth for the first time ever because even just drafting the very compressed fibers out caused a net of silk to get stuck to my pants. I’ll ply it back on itself to get a two-ply yarn.
When we went to Temecula last week G wanted to check out this totally dilapidated old building with a moving sale sign in the window. It was hard to believe that there was still a ussiness inside but sure enough there was a bussiness inside and there was a wall of button boxes. I couldn’t help myself especially because they were 50% off! I didn’t break the bank but I am definitely starting to understand the button stash temptation.
Just about a month more of school (5 weeks with finals) and then I will be half way done with graduate school. I can’t even begin to explain how happy I will be when this semster is over. I’m focusing on the positive – it’s almost over! I love school and what I’m learning but this term has been pretty tiring and I’m just ready to be done with it. Posting might be sparse until then but I promise I’ll still be spinning and knitting!
