Thesockladyspins

Came down to the coast last Sunday (mostly to go directly to passport office), did that with driving directions from Gail. New CA passport should be ready in prolly two weeks, that was easy. Then to the Mac store to see about my dying laptop, as I thought far to old to have part needed, so a new laptop (had been saving my money) so was ready for that. Then Wednesday unwelcoming noises in the rear end of my 2006 Subie, into dealer, rear calipers, metal to metal, both needed new stuff all around, expensive. While it was on the hoist several other goodies discovered (did I say it was 13 years old). Repairs would have come to almost $4500, so instead of repairing I replaced. 2019 Subaru Forester later me and the bank have a new subie. Lots of  reading the manual later feel comfortable driving home today, dash has more buttons, knobs etc. than any vehicle I’ve ever driven.  Will miss my CD changer, but have 3 months Serius radio, this will be welcome if it works where I live with no radio (

This is the pix that wouldn't load last blog update. Pieces of various fibres about 4-5-6 inches long, try to use the pinky reds about every fourth or fifth colour. Will be sock weight yarn once plied (I hope). It's taken most of the day at Williams Lk spin in and good bit ofspinning since I've been home.  Wool room is bright and perfect for watching for any visiting critters. Usually have music playing from in house stereo.

Monstersock, second sock will have colours reversed, the red from the toe will be at the top and so on. Should get started on it yet today. OK figured out how to get the sock pix in but then the next two won't completely load. Ain't technology great when it does what its supposed to do and a pain in the butt when it won't. After The Fibre I'm spinning, a mix of wool, mohair and silk. Did something similar some time ago, was hoping for what I call butt ugly yarn, instead it turned out to be OK. Ended up making socks for a neighbour for extreme winter conditions.   

My laptop has bit the bullet and died, not completely unexpected, think it's at least 7-8 years old. So this just leaves me with my iPad and no iPhoto. Just took pix this morning using a real camera and now no way to get pix into iPhoto. Did take a few at the Williams Lk spin in last Saturday, so for now will try and get them into the blog. Spoke to soon, doesn't seem to like to want to work. Went into town last Friday for spin in on Saturday, had lots of running around to do Friday, then up to Denise's for the night. Spin in was great. Lots of ladies from Desert Mesa came, must have had a good time cause they wanted to know if they could come back next year. I had a lg bag of what I call little bits to spin, none longer than 6 or so inches. Did this once before a long time aga and made what I called butt ugly socks, hope this also turns out to be ugly yarn. Stayed over till Monday morning had DR appointment 8:50 am, then got a few groceries and left town just after
