I'm still plying, but I only have six plying cakes left, once I get the big one I'm working on now finished. (And it's not even halfway yet.) So, progress! After I'm done, there will be a big finishing-of-yarn wash, thwack, and dry, and then I get to weave with most of it. I have plans for almost all of it. In fact, since it's nice today and I'm off work, I might start finishing some of it today...
(The kittens are currently chasing each other around the house very loudly. Thankfully, there's not a lot for them to knock over.)
Otherwise, A Glint of Silver has taken off in some ways, and I've been writing a lot during lunches and breaks at work and after work in the evenings. I'm almost finished with Notebook #2!
I have been spinning a lot as well... and I did break "Buy Nothing Lent" to purchase two things for myself that I did not need. One was a small bag of shetland fiber, the other was a spindle.
This spindle, actually:
While I could have waited and probably should have waited, two things in the course of more than 40 days isn't bad, and it's not like I won't use them.
In the course of that more than 40 day fast, I got rid of a Great Wheel and a large floor loom, so it's more than even, in my opinion. :)
I took off work today and tomorrow. I'm glad I did; since A Glint of Silver took off, I'll have plenty of time to finish up this chapter and start the next one. I'll be baking bread tomorrow, for a bake sale Saturday morning, and I'll be baking bread on Saturday for Sunday and next week, but I count that as fun and not work. I also hope to work outside a bit while I'm off. It's so nice and (kind of cold) sunny outside, hopefully it will warm up.
I have a list a mile long that I want to accomplish. I won't get half of it done this spring, mostly due to time and finances. But that's OK; it's really the list that counts...
