i sure as heck did.

so, i just barely got out of my spinning class. i'm not a natural, meaning, i didn't churn out perfect yarn the first go-round. but i did rent a spinning wheel to take home and practice with. it's in the backseat of my car as i type.

that makes me laugh.

so, i've been... uh, knitting. a bit. my new rule is that i can start one project for every two i finish. you know, to clear up the backlog or whatever. and... did i say that i have to take something apart (again)? that lovely serrano cardigan i finished not log ago? the sleeves don't fit right. so, i have to un-sew, rip back and re-knit. which is no big deal, really. i do love to knit. but... i have to take it apart. that's the frustrating thing. de-constructing something you've recently constructed. i think i may have wept a bit when i realized what i would have to do.

and i bought yarn. there was a going-out-of-business sale, which was so sad. but i scored some dope, dudes.

this is called 'touch me'. i swear to you. it looks like velvet rope.

lavendar velvet rope. it's going to be a purty cabled scarf. that i actually started, because i had finished serrano. and this.

another scarf. but the yarn - if you could call it that - was crazy. it was like fishnet or something. obviously, it's not finished here. i went to a movie on saturday, and finished it there. it still needs a bath. it's a goofy scarf. i'm  all atwitter to wear it. somewhere, anywhere.

some lovely cotton that will grow up to be a shrug, i think. i don't usually like cotton yarns. it's nothing personal against them because they're cotton. they just don't usually turn my head. you understand.

but these two? good gravy. the bad thing about going-out-of-business sales is that they have what they have. meaning, if you only find four skeins of a color that you have a crazy sudden love for, that's all they got. good luck finding it elsewhere. you can, but it's similar to a needle in a haystack. and that color is far more vibrant live and in person.

still working on the pink acrylic thing. it's large and cumbersome at the moment. 

now, to change topic randomly...

i was waiting for z's plane to get in a while back. the truck next to me had balls. i think one of them had a crab. and yeah - they are gold balls. 

our table at the doug fir. a lit cube. it's kinda like tron up in there.

dude. best sorbet ever. and how can you not love how the little berries are dressed up like pirates? it's berried treasure! get it? see... oh, never mind. it's so yummy. 

and... i was cleaning out my closet, and i found a white skirt. which is crazy enough. i'm going to justify it and tell you that it's made of linen. but... well. check the fringe. little shiny mirrors. that make a clinky noise when i walk.

that's all i got for now. thanks for stopping by.
