What Has this Hand Been Doing?
Have I ever explained that I really suck at surprises? Giving them... Getting them... Planning them. The anticipation drives me NUTS! I have a fairly obsessive nature ( can anyone relate?)and I really like to do stuff. I get a hair up my ... bum bum... and I can't shake the obsession until I start doing something and try to master it. Especially all things that are creative.
I knit obsessively... I blog obsessively... the whole nine.
So... I get the itch to spin yarn... I sign up for a class that does not meet until mid-March. MID-MARCH? That is just about killing me. KILLING ME!
So I am talking to Ginga and she says she gets a shipment of yarn to dye. I tell her that I am so in. I order yarn... it comes...I start to think about dyeing it. And I go to bed thinking about kool-aid, vinegar, schedules, and the like.
Tonight, I cleaned my kitchen. I was a good Mama-E. Clear out the MILLION dishes in my not so shiny sink. (Yes, every former roommate of mine knows what I am saying). My sink shines and my yarn calls.
It says "Mama, I am so pale. This winter thing is getting me down. I wish I had some color."
"But, oh pale friend, I promised Ginga I would wait for her. This is a joint project between friends that rarely get to hang out and create together."
"Mama, it's so cold. And we are so pale...c'mon... just a little color?"
"Well, I did do the dishes... how about 2 of you get some color and 2 wait for Ginga?"
"DEAL"
I have a very red skein of merino sock yarn that turned out amazingly well. My sockpalooza pal requests red... she got a slightly varegated red with tones of orange.
Now skein 2 is for me... and I can't tell how it turned out. I will reskein and see.
So... I STILL HAVE 2 SKEINS TO DYE.
WILL...NOT...THINK...ABOUT...DYEING...YARN....
