What a day for hanging your wool yarn outside
I washed and whacked the yarn for Ma's sweater and hung it out on the clothesline. Today is gorgeous.

New fiber from Lettuce Knit
I cashed in my last bday gift certificate from my sister for this. 200g of BFL/silk blend. Beautiful!

My current spinning project
Mom's sweater yarn is spun and plied, so I was anxious to start a new spinning project with COLORS in it. The braid is three separate colors (one blue, one green, one teal), so I'm randomly ripping off tufts and spinning them in any order and length. I'll either two-ply or navajo-ply when I'm done, depending on which looks better. Meanwhile, I'm actually missing the fluorescent lighting and Darren's black computer chair from the in-laws' basement. That was always a perfect place to take yarn and fiber pictures.

Ma's socks
Started, frogged, and restarted. I'm pretty confident I got the size right this time. I'll finish in the next couple of days and should be able to mail these off very soon.

365.024 - A little green around the gills
There's an episode of CSI where Sara says that smiling suppresses the gag reflex. I found that this doesn't work as well as ginger tea, but it might have something to do with those studies that say if you make yourself smile, you'll end up feeling better even if you're in a crappy mood. I just had some nausea last night, probably the result of paranoia after spending time with Jenn's sick kids.

Ravelympics dishcloth no. 1
I've already started the second. Made with size 4 needles using a giant skein of Bernat Cotton. I actually finished this yesterday, but didn't get around to uploading until today.

Froggy-toad guy!
He's greener than most toads I've seen, but he's also sunning himself, so I don't think he's a frog. Beautiful markings and colors. That's a random shadow to the left, btw, not me making a shadow puppet frog-eater.
