Ugh
Today went badly. Here. Dog picture courtesy of my awesome honorary aunt. He’s very cute and just as sweet as her. That’s it that’s all I have to say.

Crocheted Feed Interface
I’m thinking about halloween already. I know it’s kind of early, but I wanted to do something really detailed this year. I’m going to try to be one of the characters from a book series I like, the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. And given that weapons are a no for this, it has to be one of the humans, which means I need a feed interface. Interfaces clip into the ear, and they can look like anything. I made one with pull tabs from soda cans and some thread, plus the clips off of a pair of clip-on dangly earrings. Yes, I should have been spinning. Yes, I promised myself I’d only spin this month.

Tour de Fleece 1
Happy first week of the Tour de Fleece, annual spinning adventure! This is my first year doing it, and my goal is just to spin every day.

The white is the first completed skein and the honey-colored one is about to get plied. Plying ball, ready to go! Winding the plying ball Finished! (Terrible lighting here) The official color name for this is Golden Hibiscus, but I think it’s more of a honey yellow. Photo from the spinners guild meeting, where I was the youngest person there by 20-30 years, as usual. Day 1’s progress. Only day I’ve managed progress shots so far.
