Teapot, I'm sure is sick of doing everything while I spin. He just punched down bread and put it in the pans so that I wouldn't have to wash goat stench off my fingers (I'm spinning unwashed Cashmere which is kind of rank). I'll be glad to get this stuff plied and in the dye pot. I'm looking forward to getting back to knitting. My goal is to get this in the mail to my instructor by Monday.... and yes I will post pictures of it before it goes in the mail.
I just received in the mail yesterday a stack of books that I bought from the Interweave Hurt Book Sale. Oh joy and bliss! Videos and books to peer at and take pleasure in. Last night I lay in bed perusing Spinning Control (I can't remember who wrote write now and I'm not running upstairs to get it either!) and this morning I watched the video Spinning Rare Breeds. Awesome so far... loads of information that nobody would want to have except for us nutty spinning types.
It has stopped raining... though it continues to threaten. Everything is so lush that it looks like a jungle around here. Yesterday Teapot and I walked the forest trails in the wet and by the time I got home my legs were soaking wet and my feet. Jeans went into the wash because they were wet to the thighs and the runners had to be left on the deck. The walk itself was lovely... we looked at the reams of Bedstraw plants that are growing profusely. And Teapot pointed out the beautiful blooms of the Wintergreen plants that are also blooming in profusion. I have not seen any orchids this year but it may be too wet. Mushrooms are everywhere. Teapot brought home some giant puff balls which were yummy with steak the other night. Still my favorite are the good old fashioned regular puff balls.
I'm off for a quick snooze before I carry on with that plying... I can't believe that it is over a week since I got back from Olds and I'm still feeling pooped. Yup it's a sure sign that I'm getting old.
Well I ain't dead yet....
