Another thing that happened while I was at Madrona…

Nate had the bathroom painted.

We’ve had the paint for months, and I had done a little of it. Enough to know that although I enjoy painting, I really didn’t want to do the bathroom. All that’s left to do in there now is re-glue one of the handles in the shower that has come loose (bad design), and buy some plants. The one plant I have in there now is a great buffer between the blue and green we have going already.

Also, it wasn’t until someone (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name) in my Silk Spinning class asked about my dining room table that I remembered I hadn’t posted about it. Yes, it finally came back, like, the 4th time, and it’s ok. Not great, but ok. Probably as ok as it is possible to get, so we’re done with it. The color isn’t quite right, and it looks a little milky compared to the legs and the way it was before the floor guy ruined it. It’s sad, but like I said, it’s ok.

Last night I started spinning some core-spun mohair.

I like it a lot. I need to finish the bobbin, wind it onto my swift, ply it with thread, re-wind it onto my swift, and ply it with thread the other way.

Nate is concerned there is nothing I can actually do with it, without looking like a neanderthal, but I’m going to try. I’m thinking about a scarf in a slipped stitch pattern, similar to our Hayden hat on my size 19 needles, if I can find them. I haven’t used them since 2004, and I have no idea where they are. They don’t exactly fit in a knitting basket conveniently, so they were stashed somewhere well before the move. Of course, I can’t imagine losing them, either. Did you follow the link? They’re HUGE!
