I planned to be a part of Stream of Consciousness Saturday but I was so busy I nearly forgot to blog yesterday. I have four pairs of socks on looms, two hats on the round looms and a matt of plarn.
Normally, that doesn’t keep me so busy I can’t blog. But THIS had my attention all day.
My son and I loved it, all of it! But my husband found it boring. Isn’t that weird how different we see things? I could not remember what stitch I was supposed to be doing I was so glued to the show. Maybe you will like it.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the Hat Huggers meeting. Knowing that I realized I had some yarn I promised to get set up for folks who don’t have the umbrella and cake winder to make balls of yarn from yank-skeins or frogged items that are donated. So besides the knitting projects, I got out the equipment to wind up a few cakes.
I started in earnest with:
I got a couple big cakes from this white yarn. It is crochet yarn. I know it can be used to make doilies but not sure about things like hats or any other comfort items.
Then I found this maroonish wool yank. It is in the middle of the next picture.
I knew it would make socks. But it seems rather old and broke often. With both of these yarns, there were so many problems getting them to flow properly. The white had stains. I know whoever ends up with it will have to wash their complete project using some kind of bleach. The maroon was so breakable I just tied the bigger balls that resulted between breaks. I decided I will keep it to practice sock knitting on needles. I’ve been instructed to toss very bad yarn rather than attempt to make something of it. But I think I can reuse this skein one more time before trashing.
Someone donated a lot of mohair and the body of a sweater they had attempted. I wish I were a more advanced knitter so that I could finish their sweater. But with no pattern to follow or even the other needle, I figured frogging would be necessary.
So during Godzilla:
It was good to see Eleven from Stranger Things! But I didn’t like it so much. Did you? I found it too loud.
And then the Oscars, I made this kind of mess to cake before bed.
It made me think of Hair Love that we saw this morning on Sunday Morning. I loved this sweet film!
Anyway, I better get busy. Catch ya on the flip-side!
Just watched Hair Love. So good! Didn’t watch the Oscars but heard from Trudy today and we discussed movies and such. Found out from her that Parasite, which I have been avoiding, is NOT a movie along the lines of Body Snatchers. LOL So may have to get my brain organized to watch it with the subtitles. She said it’s very good. Tried the first episode of Locke and Key. Not sure yet on that one. Watched Thor with Boo. She got bored half way through but then came back when the action picked up again. She’s hoping someday to get permission to watch Thor: Ragnarok. Only certain of the Marvel and Harry Potter flicks are allowed thus far, as is best since she is prone to nightmares. So, Green Eggs and Ham it is! Which is actually a good series.
Yeah, I want to see Parasite now, too. You can’t make me watch green eggs. Oops! Supposed to be working the yarn!
I wasn’t interested in Green Eggs, either, but Boo convinced me to give it a try. I was impressed with how they handled the story-line and actually made it interesting.
I saw Hair Love on Sunday Morning too, it was very good! No Oscars for me either, and I’ve never seen that first series you showed. However, we did finally go to the movies this weekend to see Knives Out…it was awesome! Good luck on your yarn work today!
I want to see that one, too. I’ve heard a lot about it. Thanks for the luck. I will need it. 🙂
Good grief I am exhausted now 💜💜
Me, too! 😀
Well you are the busy one ! 💜🌈
😅
I tried to answer this on my phone, but it got erased somehow. Let me try again. I wonder how many people that are allergic or are adverse to eggs have a problem with the book or show? Not to mention pork opponents. Or rotten green food? Maybe sometime I will be bored enough to try, But even before becoming a vegetarian when my kids were little, I had a hard time reading the book to my little ones. Still–maybe I’ll try.
