I just spent half the day spinning camel hair.... yup, camel hair and I can't get the sucker to balance. Argh! First it came off under plied .... no problem just put a little more ply in it then it came out over plied... no problem... just take a little ply out... rats! Then it was under plied again... I hate coarse fibre. I am terrible at spinning coarse fibre... I can never get the wretched stuff to balance. So once again I plied it to put a little more twist in and now it is over plied again... so my reaction.... soak the sucker in extremely hot water for a while and then go back and bang the sh-t out of it.... maybe it will stop bugging me (because we all know that the fibre gods that live inside fibre just do it to bug you..... right?!) : {
My washer died... it's been making nasty noises for a while now so I knew it was only a matter of time. But I have four day old wash water stinking in the d-mn thing.... (yes I've tried emptying it but it just won't empty) so Teapot and I got buckets last night and took all the water out that we could ...
Problem! No matter how much water you try to get out with buckets and small containers... there's always some left. Tonight I will try to sop (soak up for you non-Newfies) the rest of the water with old towels, sponges.... whatever... meanwhile it stinks.
Obviously the pump is defunkt (sp?) on the washer... can it be fixed.... yes... maybe.... not sure.... Teapot will have a look when he gets time.... Right! I might as well go buy a new one!
Next problem! My washer and dryer are an upright set so that means that if it has to be replaced then I have to get rid of a perfectly good dryer. Sh-t!
I hope 2011 is not lining up to be like this.
