Nate and I are both going to the doctor this morning. We’re both sick and not getting better. After the doctor, I’m heading off to pick up the Clemes and Clemes that a woman I know is selling cheap. That’ll be 4 wheels in my house (tho’ one is out on loan), one for each of the girls, myself included.
It’s very exciting.
I washed an entire fleece yesterday. My revised method is SO much faster. So that leaves me with 2 left to wash. One of them is only 5 1/2 pounds, so that will be quick. I have to wait for my drying racks though. Washing more at a time takes longer to dry because the layers on the shelves are thicker.
It’s been a really long time since I actually knit something. I’m so antsy, but everything I can think of that I want to knit, I want to knit with handspun. That slows things down. But, my dye should be here soon, and I’ll take the plunge and make a big batch of something. I swear I will.
And I still have all that yarn I spun for Clark’s sweater, waiting to be dyed.
That could be a satisfying and quick knit.
In the meantime, I’m tapping my fingers for the dye to get here.

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that both you and Nate are sick, Laura! I hope you two get better very soon! How are your elbows? Are you able to do things now pain-free?

I hope you are feeling better soon. It must be hard for not just one but BOTH parents to be sick. In our house we usually have it timed that John gets sick at the same time as the kids….so…ya know…I have even MORE people to take care of…and then after everyone is on the mend that’s when I’ll get sick if I end up catching it. I feel for you. I hope you both get better really soon! I can’t wait to see what you start dyeing up once you get those dyes! They take FOREVER to arrive don’t they?

When you wrote that you have four spinning wheels, I thought “Why on earth?” Then I remembered that I have five computers in my house :-). Our friends look at us like we are a little nutty, but with four kids in school the computers get a workout. Besides, your wheels and my computers are a bit more practical than the huge DVD libraries that some of my friends have.
I hope that you are Nate are feeling better.
