loving merino.
I've been itching to try some of our handspun merino. Dying! But Kate sneakily took the yarn to her house after the fair, and when I was over there, I decided none of the handspun beauties were quite right to play with. Instead, I finally got to washing mr. ugly yarn. (see down a few entries.) This yarn is... bright yellow and dark blue, and *every* shade in-between. It's sorta neat, in a not-quite-pretty kind of way. but perfect to play with. and someone is bound to like the colors, right? It's delightfully soft.. that should make up for it!
Made this mostly while waiting around at
Maryland Day for someone's lab tours to end so we could go get more free icecream. :) Yum.
Also finished much of a wine tote... same as before, not so interesting! it's neat that the colors form a spiral down the length... I'd hoped for something more random, but I guess it depends on the width of the knit too..
And running this morning.. rocked. except for the standing in the rain for 40 minutes listening to a lecture on clothing. (wear good stuff) Ran up and down hills for 20 minutes straight. didn't die.
