Thanks, Linda! Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “wool.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

Just when thought I wouldn’t be writing about my latest knitting project, the prompt is ‘Wool‘

Here ‘wool’ comes from sheep or Alpaca or the like. Elsewhere ‘wool’ is the word for yarn. Yarn can be organic or synthetic.

Many people, like me, used to be miserable and itchy when our moms made us wear anything of wool. Some maintain that allergic reaction. My allergies have changed as I aged. Best of all wool, like superwashed wool is so soft and cozy. So I suggest finding some and trying. Wool is strong and stretchy especially when nylon is added. It is wonderful for socks.

My latest examples.

Cotton (wool meaning yarn) soft and not allergenic. But not fun to work for socks. These are one row from off the needles!
These are soft actual wool but the yarn is thin as are the needles so I have to cut my knitting time to save my fingers.

Now without calling too much attention to Finishing Friday or the like. But heck, so as to not pull the wool over your eyes, I’ll check in with the nearly finished Peacock:

Plastic. Not wool. I’m thinking I’ll be done by Wednesday.

Still, I’m streaming on Saturday.  Consciousness leads me to mention two shows we’ve streamed today:

The Wizard of Paws on Disney is so heartwarming!

And I think I’m a Swifty!

We watched half today after spending the morning on the wizard. We couldn’t sit still any longer.
