are me and my yarns desperate?
Is it seen as real dedication, or real patheticness that I'm here everyday or two bothering the e-world with my exploits? I wonder.
The yarns of the day are: old man snoring, a practical exercise in short and long draw.
Short (worsted) is on the left and long (more woolen) is on the right. Each is 70 yrds each, single and lookin' for love. The difference in feel is astounding. The worsted is soft but the woolen one, holy pita sandwich, who wants to curl up and take a nap? Soft as all-getout. Both are thick and thin, and no strangers to here and there over-twisting. I'm pretty proficient at short and modified long draw but more practice is needed for a legit long draw, can't have my long draw cred threatened, yo.
The next yarn up features the colors from that delicious treat from the 80s, 2-toned hubbabubba, watermelon flavor-flav. I'd eat so much I'd be foaming at the mouth. I'd borrow change from my mom's change drawer and get packs and packs for the sole purpose of buying friends in the 4th grade. Lol. I guess not much has changed -- look at the pretty yarn, you are getting drowsy and also starting to feel like you need jacey to be your bestest friend ever. Again, a single, but not desperate yarn, after all, it's got 200 yards to keep itself comfortable.

secondly, is the only difference in you yarn that one is short draw and one is long? if so, holy crikies!! crazy. hmf. looks gorgeous!! i got a whole bunch of different color dyes and i cannot wait for my fiber to come!!!
