Things are going to change around here. Not *HERE* as in the blog, I mean here in my life. This week is my last at the museum, so when I return from Pennsic in two weeks, I will be officially unemployed. While looking for new work, I might have all sorts of time for knitting and dyeing and updating and then, once I start working again, I probably won’t have any time for anything at all. This is the first time in my life when I have had NO idea what’s coming next. Plus my car is absolutely dying. I had it towed yesterday, in fact. My first time using AAA in four years. Everything is just going to pieces all at once.
I haven’t been doing a lot of spinning lately. Pennsic prep is one reason. The Folk School of Doom is another. Since I will not be going at all now (they never got my new class schedule. Thanks guys!), any new information in regards to spinning will have to be acquired on my own time, through my own, solitary devices. Meaning: I’m miffed and uninspired. Plus I’ve been getting bored with singles and 2-plies, but feeling helpless in regards to new techniques. Remembering some article about something in a past Spin-Off, I got out the Spring 2008 issue and read the article on wrap & roll yarns. This is what I ended up with:
Jellyfish Tentacles. Handdyed Corriedale. 8 yards total.
It is significantly better than the first coil yarn I attempted in 2006. You can see that dreadful little mess here, in my flickr photostream. Not to mention my poor photography…
