msfledermaus...That means I can start on mitten #2 of a set. Verrrry foofy black with pink (Pink!) mohair cuffs to go with a mohair scarf I finished. The Norweigans say that there's no bad weather, only bad clothing...so I'm trying to make nice warm nearly-indestructable stuff:)
Other things I've been doing include:
Spinning more of that nice local alpaca on a drop spindle. I've got about 35 yards wrapped up nicely in a skein, ready for a wash. (That's not a lot of yarn, I know. I should have kept going, dammit.) My technique is getting better, though I'm still spinning a mite thick to 2-ply it with another strand. But single-ply is very pretty too...I'm sure with more practice I can spin some thinner stuff...
Buying better food to stick in the freezer, just to have in case of company or emergency. I made a white-sauce parmesan pasta with scallops and basil, garlic and tomatoes last night. Not bad stuff if I do say so:)
Buying better tea as well. I've got some Jade Pearl Oolong in my pantry, begging to be plunked into boiling water.
Reading new copies of "The Desert Peach." Great stuff.
Buying a copy of "Real Simple" to help me clean my closet. It's an amazingly disappointing magazine for the price, maaan...Martha Stewart, you are eeeeevil for making me buy your crappy magazine:PPPPP
Okay, off to the races for me...
