It warmed up... that's my excuse for not writing here for a while. I hauled new hay in for the animals. I hauled water. I shoveled pathways. I caught up on outside things to do. Then it started to get colder and it started to snow and that's when I panicked. With thoughts of spring in my mind the previous week, and knowing how much the cold temps have made me want spring in a terrible way, I knew I had better get started working on my level 2 homework while the cold temps kept me housebound. I haven't even let myself knit. All because it warmed up to a balmy plus 7 degrees.
The one thing that I have noticed about my spinning this week is that I can't spin for beans. Grist is certainly an issue. (That's the thickness of the singles for you lay people.) Not one of my skeins meets my idea of good spinning. But it is going off to the instructor anyway, I don't have time to fool with it to make it perfect. I know that I am not going to get the great mark that I did last year but I had hoped that it would be better than just ok. Thing is I have left it too long to be finicky about it now. It is almost February. Being so relaxed for so long has made me definitely notice that my spinning has deteriorated over the months.
I have a problem.... because it is almost February and I have a trip in Feb as well as a trip in April, I know I am down to the wire on this homework. There is no time to lose. If I do one section a week every week (except the ones I am away) I will finish my homework in June. This is not good. I would like to have my homework finished before that so that I could have a month of reprieve before I am back at it again. Arrrggghhh!
Well, if I'm going to finish a section today I had better get back at it. WAAAAAAGGHHH! I suck as a master spinner. : {
