So the clouds are gone but it was still too cold and too windy to ride. Oh well, there is always next weekend.
Let's see how I did with my goals for this weekend:
1. Get on the trainer as soon as this post is done.
Done
2. Spin some more cotton -- only 7 grams left of the colorful stuff.
Finished spinning and plying it. It is now skeined and soaking (and running) in the sink. What can I do with 380 yards of lace weight cotton?
3. Laundry (with some spindle spinning while washing / drying).
No spinning while this happened -- Mike did the laundry while I was doing #6.
4. Take Squidette and her ever growing feet for shoes and other girl stuff.
New shoes and a blow dryer with diffuser (for her curly hair) purchased. And a pretzel at Aunt Annies.
5. Make more progress on Squidette's blanket -- the yellow has now been broken with the purple and there are now 3 skeins of yarn in use, going to 4 by the end of the evening (3 of them yellow).
Ripped back the 3 rows that I had knit and then made actual progress with 4 more rows before abandoning it for a sock. My brain and my head (sinus headache) was hurting. You try knitting with a chart that is almost as big as the blanket on your lap! I'll do a few more rows tonight after my yarn is done washing.
6. Synagogue knitting group.
Done and Done! We finished 3 blankets -- the one I showed a week or so ago, one constructed almost entirely by the other group leader and one more assembled by another group member. I brought the almost completed fourth blanket home and will finish it before the next meeting.
I also plyed the orangy wool that I spun two weeks ago. That is soaking in one half of the kitchen sink while the cotton is on the other side.
There you go. Yup, it was a productive weekend. Now if the weather had been nicer I would not have been nearly as productive but it still would have been nice.

kippah!! :)
er, actually i don't know, but that's the intent with which i purchased the cotton i did last summer. i have three different colours and i thought they'd be gorgeous in a kippah. but i have to get better at spinning longer stapled stuff first. :)
Goodness, you got a lot done! Could the cotton become a lacy summer scarf?
Wow you did great with your list. Don't you just love the feeling of accomplishment?
Hugs!!!
