It's Conference Weekend

I love conference weekends. We get to stay home and listen to church on T.V. Yes, it's eight hours, between Saturday and Sunday (two two-hour sessions each) - that's a lot of knitting and spinning time. Usually I'm not daring enough to knit during church, although I probably have resorted to it sometimes when it was the only way to stay awake. I must have had a bad attitude back then. Lately I draw Celtic knots instead - it's less obvious. But when watching church on T.V. from home, I have no problem at all with using my time productively while listening. Honestly, it's nothing against church - my hands just need something to do.

During the morning session today I made quite a bit of progress on the Opal socks. Last night (all right, yes, in class) I made it just a little past the heel on the second sock. I'll have them both done by the end of the afternoon session. When the socks are done I will spin. Although the dogs and kids have broken both of my spinning wheels rough-housing in the living room, I'm pretty sure that one of them will still work. It just needs to be re-glued, and it wobbles a little. Otherwise, there are always spindles.
