Ok so here's the merino/firestar I started spinning back when I said I was going to choose between two other things. Oh fickle me!
It's a dark green (I call it a peacock green) blended with the green/yellow/blue firestar. I'm thinking of knitting it as an energized single (which means right off the bobbin).
While I'm spinning, I'm listening to Duma Key by Stephen King. I believe I'm just a bit less than halfway through. It's good so far, but not my favorite. (That's why the little boombox thing is in the photo). Mark my words, people, Stephen King is a modern literary genius. There will be entire university courses taught on his work in my lifetime (I'm 34).
Later today I'm going to swatch on my 930 with the garter carriage. I was thinking of doing some video during the process of this sweater I'm planning on knitting on my machine. Maybe I'm too lazy though. Those people who have machines out there and are making youtube videos to help others learn how to (and sometimes how not to) use their machines go to a lot of trouble and I give them a lot of credit for that.
Someone remind me to drop off the outgrown clothes in the back of the truck at Goodwill!

ReplyDeleteIt's already occurred/is occurring! When I was at Hope College (I graduated in 2005) there was a course on Stephen King in the English department. I tested out of English, so I never got the opportunity to take the course - but I'll bet it was interesting!
