Union Market spin-a-thon
Holy hot shit cakes! The Union market-spin-a-thon has officially come to a close. The final tallies find us with 1010 of the darker green and 400 of the lighter green. Now some of you may notice that those numbers are a bit shy (still gonna get laid but gonna play hard to get first) of the yardage called for in the pattern. However, I say fuck it! It's a bit thicker, instead of getting guage on a forsaken #3, I'll get it at on a #4 or perhaps, cross those nubblies, a #5! So all should be well in the land of camo. And if it doesn't make it, it looks smashing as an arm adorment, don't you think? By the way, not to lick my own pudding, but more as record keeping, I started this 1400 yards on July 13th and finished it on July 24th, and spun up another misc. 1000 yards in the meantime. Okay, that was a bit of puddin' licking, but I couldn't help myself, it was a big feat.
Also, yesterday I spun up fussy harley, 110 yards of harley with long stripes of orangy/yellow kid mohair, and trollop, and trollop up close, it's reddish wool/mohair mix spun thick and thin with stripes of orangey-yellow romney, thick and thin with super-coils and plied with a varigated red to pink nylon thread, 65 yards with enough left to do another 60 or so. Also another 200 yard of fobidden forest. I'm officially out of dyed roving now, looks like that's what I'll be doing today.l
I'm happy today, scratchy in the throat but beside myself with the glee of secret good news!

Posted by: andrea at July 26, 2005 07:10 PMi thought it was a bracelet! i wish you lived nearby so you could hold my hand whilst i dye for my first time with non-koolaid dyes. sigh. i just saw birdinthehand's self portrait tuesday and it was a photo from 2 years ago of her with her dog before she put it to sleep. i though about my cat that passed last year and started bawling. my face is all sticky now, and it isn't from all the pie that i ate. although i did eat pie. oh yeah, and TAG!!!! it is the what did you do 10 years ago, etc, i will be posting mine to-morrow.
