It was a busy day on the fiber front. This morning I washed and thwacked one skein of yarn by 7 am. The sad thing about this is it was so hot that the water was drying up as I went to hang the yarn. I then plyed a second skein and put it in its hot wash. Since it was even warmer when this one came out of its hot bath the water dried up even faster. Yet the full skeins of yarn are still damp in the garage this evening.
I finally figured out a glitch in a new pattern design. It has taken months. I did have an epiphany last night. So this afternoon I cast on and it’s exactly like I want it. Now just to do the math so I can finish writing the pattern and knitting the sample. This made me very happy. Yes I am currently working on 3 new pattern designs at the moment. I think the heat has gotten to me. All I really want to do is go to a coffee shop and have a cuppa tea and knit like in pre COVID19 times. Now it’s outdoor dining for me, so it’s kinda not an option, because it’s too hot to sit outside even with misters. So I go from room to room to work on different projects. That’s just like going to a coffee shop, right?
With the exception of 1 skein of yarn drying in the garage, I have all the yarn priced for the knitting guilds Christmas in July event. I even priced it at a 30% discount in hopes that it does not come back home with me. I am also debating whether to make more stitch markers or move back to dog pillows, then on to a new blanket for my daughter. Then I did get the parts to fix my small ridged heddle, so there are scarfs to weave also.
I did say it was a fiber filled day.
