You know, I like you very much

. 46WPI. Mohair sliver dyed lavender-ish. I don’t know the length. I had to use up the rest of the purple. I’m not a purple person and only dyed some stuff purple because it was the color of choice from my secret yarn swap partner. I wouldn’t usually ever use purple but in the next batch of yarn purple will maker an appearance as I had to use it to get it out of my stash.
This tiny yarn is two ply if you can believe it. I filled my bobbin and then plied it onto itself. I don’t know what this method of plying is technically called. i prefer to buy tiny yarn like this. making it was boring.
I used it to ply an easter egg tablet dye job turned yarn.



I’ve been gimpy. Dan and I had two of our favorite house guests over this weekend and we were all pretty gimpy together. I could hardly walk, Dan was going through serious neck pain issues, S came down with a bad cold, and R was going through technical difficulties with her brain implant pace maker. Geesh. Dan’s doing much better now; I’m still hobbling around and getting depressed, missing my pug walks through the beach forest and just pain free walking in general. When my leg starts causing me grief I get extremely frustrated, even too frustrated to do anything about it. I hobble along and do damage to my leg stump that rattles and knocks around inside the socket. I blame it on the xyban because it took my appetite away and I lost about 15lbs while quitting smoking ciggs.
Weight loss or gain, 2 lbs even = public enemy #1 as far as wearing weight bearing limbs go.

Wednesday- Friday, maybe even till Saturday I stayed in stinky pajamas and made a lot of yarns to keep myself level headed. Saturday I tried to shake myself out of it and dressed for going out only I didn’t go anywhere. Laid on the sofa and cut scraps of pictures for tiny mini art cards I’ll be including with each yarn.. I’m thinking I want to have a grand opening as soon as I get my gallery pages up on the .com. and that’s when I’ll include some arty extra surprises. I’m not used to being laid up like this and finding little ways to keep awake and occupied make the days much better. It’s really easy to fall asleep on my sofa while watching tv and I’m trying to avoid going down that dead rut road.
So far so good so it’s ok for now.

the Martian yarn, I call: The Saucers are Coming (and we do not have everything under control)



Eh, night time pix, beh.

When I made it I was thinking it was to be the perfect foil hat ever. I tore an emergency foil blanket into long strips. It wasn’t the easiest to spin so I had to take it real slow to
Make sure the fibers would stay stuck to the foil parts and the threads spun tightly around where the foil blanket strip ended. Not the easiest thing to do with one hand but I couldn’t be happier about the way it turned out. Everything I did over the weekend involved shredding amazing materials :)
