Novelling Snapshot
Reached 40,000 words on Wednesday 19th and I'm only partway through chapter nine of twelve, looks like I'm writing a 60,000 word story. But it's moving along nicely and I hope to write "The End" by November 30th.

First Frost
Scraped ice off my car this morning, and there was a snow flurry over the weekend. It must be winter. This happens every year, and it's always a surprise. Got a new pair of leather gloves at the weekend, dug my roll-brim Rowan Coccoon hat out of
Cormo and Targhee
I'm still spinning Cormo, though I set the wheel back to the slowest ratio. There's about 2oz left to go before Navajo plying, which should probably be attacked on a relaxed Friday afternoon with a glass of Bailey's for good measure. Slowing down the
Spin cycle
Went to the Weaving Dept Spin in on Saturday 11th, and spent a happy few hours spinning outside with Susan and Kay. I got more spinning done that day than in the preceding six months, and learned an important lesson: Stop spinning like a hamster on meth. It's
Going to the Spin-In

Snapshot - August 2008
It's been a while since I did one of these. September and March in 2007 were the last. Similar to phoeknits weekly thing but a lot less frequent:
Knitting
Eris is back in the lunchtime knitting slot, which is pretty much the only time I knit. I have
Limping over the finish line
The Tour de Fleece is over. I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped, but having surgery partway through will do that for you. I did finish a mini-skein of Navajo-plied, spindle spun, Wensleydale yarn that I'm pleased with. I took
