FUBAR Friday
That's how I feel anyway, after this week!! Craziness at work, strange things happening here and there...look at what happened when I opened up google maps yesterday. (Click for big)
Do you see?! Do you see the cat??
Freakin' WEIRD!!! I was asking people to go to google maps to see if they could see the cat too--it was blinking and flashing, by the way--but no one else could. My brother said it was probably a "cache mixup", which is apparently when your computer has a brainfart and pulls a random image from your cache and sticks it somewhere it doesn't belong. In this case, that's someone's avatar from the somethingawful.com forums replacing the google logo. WEIRD!
I spun the merino-tencel from funwithyarn.com (here it is before I spun it) and ended up with two small skeins--I was too lazy to figure out the weight or the yardage!
I spun it from the fold, my first attempt, so it's reeeeally uneven. But I really like how the colors look in both skeins, and how light and airy the resulting yarn is.
I am going to a dye party on Sunday with the Peachtree Handspinners Guild, so I'll finally get a chance to try some real dyeing. I ordered some BFL from one of the members who sells Louet products, and I am so excited to get my hands on it and start splashing colors around! Especially in someone else's kitchen, considering the size limitations of my own--and my dislike of post-crafting cleanup!
Have a great weekend everyone, and hope to see some of you locals on Sunday at the dye party!

What dye party? I missed the last guild meeting, did they talk about it there? Damn! I had tons of yarn I spun that needs to be dyed.
Oh well.
Your yarn is beautiful. Love how shiny it is.

Weird on the Google thing.... must've made you think you were going batty, huh?
I cannot believe the great seepage of spinning talent that's flowing through your fingers! Spinning from the fold is so.... so... adventurous! I've never made it past the long-inch. :-)
*sniffle* my wheel...
P.S. It's nice to see some regular updates out of you! Keep 'em coming.
