Wow! Its really November!!!!

The KR Retreat is just days away!!!! Yikes, guess I’d better get packing! There are going to be some tough decisions about what to bring with me. I plan to try to bring no more than I brought to Italy ;)

M and J came out for a visit yesterday. We had a nice little tea party and I let them play with my new toy, uh, I mean wheel. I’ve also started spinning up a bit of a silvery/grey merino/silk blend. I’ve got the wheel set to the highest ratio I have for it and the lace bobbin on it and I’m spinning some pretty small stuff. Even when I let it self-ply to check the size it winds up being way smaller than anything I’ve done before . . . now the only problem is that I’m really going to need a tensioned-lazy kate in order to ply this without a big mess! Winding onto the ball winder and then plying just isn’t going to work in this instance. Once the yarn is done, the plan is to knit a lace scarf from it, though it may well be spring by the time I finish!

Oh, well, back to the none-fiber portion of my day . . .
