You say "I've got sinus" in much the same manner that one says "I've got e-mail". "Sinus" is the disease - one would never say "I have a sinus infection. If your head feels like cakes of cement have been packed up above your eyebrows and cheekbones, you've got sinus. Well, sorry to be disgusting but if I have to suffer everybody ought to hear about it. It difuses my misery. nya. I don't dare go to work either - even if I could my staff would chase me out of the building since I sound like a fog horn in some Sea Adventure movie. so - no pictures of Bath Abby yet. We shall resume the tour of England when I am well. When I am up to moving about the house a bit I sit at my wheel, though, and work on my painted roving. Spinning it at about 27 WPI which usually knits up about 4.5 stitches to the inch when I ply it. I have 8 oz to work with and I don't think that would quite make a vest for me (weight watchers doesn't work that fast)- and by gum, I"m knitting this yarn into someting for me to wear. Definitely not gift yarn. I'm seriously thinking of color stranding this stuff with some chocolate brown merino. I know of a source for the roving but if the painted yarn knits up at the same gauge as Aurora8 I think I'll just buy that. I've never heard of people combining handspun with commercial yarn. It might work - it might be awful. guess it depends on the handspun. Aurora8 is such a distinct yarn - very structural - and tidy - hmmmm. well - it's worth a try. If it doesn't look good I'll just resort to handspinning the entire thing. I am thinking now, maybe windowpane type squares in color, surrounded by frames of chocolate brown. hmmmm. yep yep - it's fun to plan. posted by Bess | 10:53 AM |
