Thesockladyspins

Bought 3 skeins (plus one free) from Lynne Anderson from westcoastcolourandcarding.com all colours I was out of, nice stuff 75%superwash merino and 25% nylon, perfect blend for socks. Spinning another bobbin of the pinky magenta In between spinning am continuing plying bobbins 3 and 4 of the multi coloured stuff. I was hoping for fingering weight but am guessing its closer to sport weight. The good food box was ready for pick up Thursday , since I was getting low on fruit and veggies went out to gather it up, first time driving to Tatla since mid February. Was pleased to find I still remembered how to drive. Grapes, apples, bananas, tomatoes, romaine. broccoli, zucchini, onions, potatoes, green onions, two beautiful red peppers, and garlic. Will have a stir fry tonight for supper. Even was able to buy some oranges at the store. My yard is now completely bare no snow anywhere and can even see a bit of green showing up, hardly any snow left along the ro...

Back to my normal life. Spinning every morning and several other times during the day, feels so good to be able spin again. The fibre is a superwash merino-nylon mix lovely stuff to spin. Long range plans for this batch will be socks, adding light gray and white for the patterns. Even cooked last nights supper, just a simple tuna noodle casserole, enuff for tonight's supper as well. I finally caved and got the lifeline thingie, wear around my neck and its waterproof so can leave it on in the shower. Single button to push if I ever fall again, help called to clinic in Tatla Lake.

The yarn I was spinning before the “fall” is finally all skeined and yesterday washed to set the twist. The top two bobbins, ended up with 950 yards of almost sock weight yarn.  Here are the 5 skeins hanging over the furnace in living room. Almost dry after hanging all day yesterday and all night.  The 3 skeins of white are for the second sock for crayon challenge, enuff there to make something else as well and now with lots of time until fall Desert Mesa will add to my show and tell. Then feeling the need to try spinning I got out some merino-nylon from Mary-anne Smith and gave it a go, so glad my fingers didn't forget. Felt so good to be able to spin again. Think I am as close to normal as I will ever be, glad to be back working (playing) in wool room.
