I hate lavender.
No, that’s not true. I actually like lavender, but realized a while back that it gives me headaches. So I avoid strong doses of it now. That’s unfortunate, because apparently the laundry detergent I picked up at a local “green” grocer has scads of it. I’m currently rinsing my clothes for the third time, this time with vinegar in the water, in an attempt to get the smell out. So if anyone in the Charlotte area wants a bottle of nearly unused Ecover laundry detergent scented with lavender, let me know. It smells nice, it’s just that I’ve already got a three-day headache going, I don’t need any more help with that.
On the spinning front, I decided that the easiest way to determine whether or not I wanted to ply that red was… well, to ply that red. So I spun up a very small quantity and plied it. I like it. I want to knit it up, but can only find one size 1 DPN. It’s quite mysterious. Maybe I can snag some more needles when I finally take that road trip to Greer for the closing of Yarns Forever. The owner’s dyeing business is going so fantastically that she no longer has time to maintain the store. She had some unusual stuff there last time I visited, so I’m hoping to find something interesting.
I’m looking for a time to see Pirates of the Caribbean with my husband. If we can’t get out to it, we’ll see it on DVD, but this does seem like one that would go well on the big screen. He’s just been working like a madman, so it’s tough to find time to get away. We could both use more sleep, and late night calls from work don’t help. That’s the price you pay for being indispensible, though!
Today, miscellaneous errands and more Jayne hats. Woot!
ETA: My mom’s volunteered to watch the kiddo on Monday so we can go to a movie. Double woot! Thanks Mom!
