Wait a minute! No, you're not in the wrong place. It's still me - I just got tired of purple. I think that this color just suits me a little better. It's a new week, it's a new month, it's almost Spring, and I needed a change. I think I got all my links and stuff transferred. The Tag-board is down there on the right, but you might have to scroll down a little more. Weather Pixie moved down below the archive links. Does anyone know how to add graphics to appear on the background with the Blogger templates? I need some flowers and I'm not sure how to put them here. Maybe I'll have to do that on the other pages I am going to get around to doing eventually.

I haven't written here in several days. Over the last week I have not knitted a significant amount. Yesterday I spun one bobbin of the green roving you can see in my roving basket picture in the January archives (way in the back of the basket, kind-of a greyish green color). It's a nice, lofty wool that spins easily, and it is telling me that it would like to be bead yarn. That is a novelty spinning technique where you spin a relatively thick low-twist single and ply it with a thin high-twist single (the second single being spun S which is the opposite direction to the way singles are normally spun). The two singles are then plied together, (direction is S, or normal plying direction). The fine single is held tightly during plying and the thick single allowed to wrap around it. I'll show you a picture when I get to that point. I don't know what it wants to be made into after the yarn stage yet.

I am not sure how much to tell you of the reason why I have been quiet and unproductive this last week. It is too embarassing.

This paragraph will self-destruct in 3 ..... 2 ..... 1 ......

One of the reasons I started this weblog was because I felt like I was losing interest in all the things that I was doing to force myself to keep going. If I can interest you in hearing about these things then maybe I can interest myself too. And in order to show you pictures of what I am doing I have to actually be doing something. Anyway, things are improving and people are being nice about what happened. Okay, lets get back to business as usual now, shall we? And if you don't know what to say, that's fine - neither do I. But I'd love it if you would leave me a comment from time to time so that I know you're still out there.
