Yesterday as I gazed adoringly up at my spun yarn still on the niddy-noddy I made a pitcher of Kool-Aid with the schtuff I was supposed to use as dye for said yarn. It tasted like procrastination. And deliciousness.
So, yep. I haven't dyed my yarn or finished spinning the small amount of fiber I have left. Or even figured out what color I want to dye it. My yarn may have gone from super-bulky down to plain ol' regular bulky, but since I don't know what I want to use it for it's difficult to decide what color it needs to be. I think it may end up beeing (I made this typo and I thought it was funny, so I left it) another trophy skein, since I don't know what the heck I'd do with 84 yards of bulky with summer approaching so quickly.
So what have I been doing with all of this non-spinning time? Knitting and crochet. I finshed my cabled bag with enormous satisfaction and immediately embarked on a hard-core crochet spree. I made half a baby blanket (still in progress), some hackey sacks, a clutch purse and an apple cozy. On the knitting front I started a lacy shrug which is progressing quite nicely. I also spent a lot of time on Ravelry searching for patterns and put a LOT of stuff on my queue. Which isn't exactly progress, but it kinda is.
I'm really excited about the lacy shrug. This is my first time knitting lace. I LIKE it, and it seems to go by a little more quickly and at the same time looks delicate and complicated. The pattern is pretty easy, but I don't think I could talk and knit it at the same time. I have to chant in my head: k2tog, yo, yo, ssk, k2tog, yo, yo, ssk....
