I&#8217;ll start on 2005 at some point soon.  I am omitting the hundreds of individual Jayne hats in favor of one single Jayne hat project that I&#8217;ve listed as ongoing from 2004 to the present.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Jayne, I&#8217;m almost out of orange and the mill won&#8217;t be spinning more for another six weeks.  You&#8217;re killing me, Brown Sheep, you&#8217;re killing me.  More road trips are in my future.<\/p>\n<p>The Tofutsies socks were finished tonight!  They look good.  I&#8217;ll post up pics soon.  Speaking of posting pics, having to put things up on Ravelry means that I have to put my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/\">knitting pics up on flickr<\/a>.  I feel oddly exposed having them all out there.<\/p>\n<p>Am doing Girl Scout paperwork, trying to find a new home for my two rising Juniors and merging with another troop.  Also mailing out cookie badges.  I have an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I&#8217;m overlooking something important, but I don&#8217;t know what, and something will go wrong this Fall.  However, I did speak with the council membership coordinator tonight, and she gave me some info that gives me a place to go to get more in control of things.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocussplit.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocussplit-thumb.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" border=\"2\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocussplit2.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocussplit2-thumb.jpg\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" border=\"2\"><\/a>Started to spin up the second half of the red fiber, but you know what?  After spinning that gorgeous cormo\/silk blend, I couldn&#8217;t muster any enthusiasm for the red stuff.  It was pretty, but just not so much fun to spin.  Instead I moved on to the BFL I got from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sakinaneedles.com\/\">SakinaNeedles<\/a>.  Wow, is that stuff soft.  Like buttah.  I went to split it, and it fell apart into two perfect little slivers in my hand.  Then four, then eight.  Easy peasy.  I&#8217;m still getting the hang of spinning it &#8211; I think I need to set my brake a little harder, I&#8217;m kind of uneven &#8211; but it&#8217;s just so soft.  Did I mention that it&#8217;s soft?<br \/>\n<br clear=all><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocusbegin1.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/spinning\/Crocus\/BFLCrocusbegin1-thumb.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" border=\"2\"><\/a>I&#8217;m preserving the hard color breaks, so I think it will ply up pretty barber pole-y, but I&#8217;m okay with that.  This is for fun.  I&#8217;m going to order more to have for Simucon, since I think this will be fun for newer spinners.<\/p>\n<p>Still recovering from staying up too late a few nights ago after getting the DVD transferred.  Maybe I&#8217;ll put up another spot tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Time for bed.  Pics and vids another day.<\/p>\n<p><i>Hats up for: NC, MO, CA<\/i><br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Am going crazy from being home all day as a mom.
