Enough About That....

Level 3.... I'm really ready to jump!

Still on that first commercial yarn...I can't get the grist right. Argh! I am now on the sixth try.  If I get the grist right then I get the tpi wrong... if I get the tpi right then I get a lot of inconsistencies... Oh I am sooo tired of it. Today I will try a different yarn for my 2 ply commercial yarn...either that or I will give the two ply a break and try the 3 ply. I wanted this in the mail today.... well, you can see how successful I was at that..... so enough about that!

It is raining again today after another full day of rain.... I've never seen such weird weather. What we are getting is what we usually get in the spring. Weird!  We even lost the power on Saturday night.... very strange weather. Enough about that....

I have been wanting to say welcome to the two new followers on my follower list. Every so often I will go looking for blogs that I enjoy and I hope you find things here that you enjoy too.....

Dinner at the parents place last evening was interesting....(and the fact that I am mentioning it here must mean that it was superlative)... I gave the parents an overview of what I had written on my blog yesterday.... To show you all how the world has turned up-side-down, my parents in a complete switch from their normal habit, agreed with each other and said that I was completely wrong!  I was terribly happy because I gave them something to be united about and that is rare. : ) I came away from their house with (almost) a smile on my face...... it was worth baring my soul to the world on a topic that is so controversial just to see them as a united front.  It was also good to get a different perspective. Interesting how their generation sees things so differently... the gist of their argument was that they both valued the ditch digger as much as the lawyer.... (actually when I thought about it I couldn't disagree with them but then lawyers are such bottom dwellers not given a whole lot of respect either... and they do have their own jokes!) Anyway maybe it is a generation thing.... Mudder said that when she was young women who went to work were not given any respect or value... women were expected to stay home with their children so it has turned around just in one generation... interesting! Still though a little liberal arts can't hurt really.  Maybe it will make us all a little more open to our fellow people.... Enough about that....

Hi ho hi ho I'm off to try those commercial yarns again.... it is a good day for it... rain, rain, rain, dull, dull, dull, spin, spin, spin... maybe I should drink some wine, it might make my spinning better!.... too bad I'm allergic to it..... : ( ... well enough about this..... I'm off...
