What’s new
In a few words – books: Twilight seris (have not been able to see the movie yet); Eragon (Inheritance Cycle) Seris; spinning; knitting.
Right now I’m spinning angora, like literally, right now. Well right before posting this anyway. I’m not liking 100% pure angora so much – it falls apart way easily. This is raw angora as well as far as I know, not processed, straight from the bunnies at Handspun Harvest after having the fiber carded for me. I love it, it is sooo soft but really a pita to spin. I can not get a good consistency at all. I’ve tried drafting inchworm, from the fold, and my usual worsted. I”m afraid to try long-draw that it will just fall apart! It’s only 2 oz – I think next time I want to buy some I will see if Jenni can blend it with something else for me to make it easier to spin.
The spinning is actually a break from cutting out fabric. I really am not that into sewing and would much rather spin or knit. Cutting out is the worst though. I have 4 skirts to cut (1 down) and 3 shirts. Then I have to get it all sewn before Saturday. Way to go waiting on the last minute, eh? My back kills when I cut out.
Oh yes, one other thing is new, I started seeing a chiropracter. My neck is always bothering me, he says it’s basically bad posture. It has helped so far, but not 100% yet. He wants me to get to 50% better and then wear this strange contraption on my head to correct my posture – the bones in my neck are actually forward and no amount of trying to correct it myself will work, or so he says. All I know is I do feel better so I’m pretty sure I will keep it up. It got so bad, esp when I knit, I thought I was going to have to give it up.
I leave you with my current WIP:
