I think I’ve broken my yarn pull-ball winder. I suspect it’s fallen out of the closet one too many times and knocked something out of whack because last night the second ball of yarn in a row just thoroughly fucked up and did not wind correctly. Thankfully this time I managed to ‘wind’ it completely so I was able to then convert it to a regular round yarn ball without any tangles, but I’m definitely not a fan of those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finished the husband’s fingerless gloves<\/a> last night, wound up fresh yarn, and cast on my first shawl. The shawl had an interesting garter tab cast on<\/a> that had you knit up several rows, then turn the work to pick up stitches on the edge, then turn again to pick up along the cast-on edge (so it stretches out\/bends the original few rows). I’m at the point in my knitting where I like to switch back and forth between “let’s learn something new” (the brioche hat, this new shawl) and “let’s do something easy” (the fingerless gloves). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and I finished the latest Wooble amigurumi this week, JoJo the Bunny<\/a>. He’s so fat. LOL Next up is a fox, and hopefully I’ll get better at more consistent stitches with the practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime I turned 52 last week. I was thinking about that and about my work anniversary and realized that come December 1st this year I will have worked for half my life as a Federal employee. And don’t think for a moment that I won’t pull that out in meetings. LOL <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
