My hands hurt. I'm not exactly sure how, but I've managed to do something to both hands so that they hurt quite a bit. It's something like tennis elbow, according to my doctor, so that's great. What it really means is that I haven't been knitting or spinning in over a week, and I'm getting twitchy.
The Finn fleece is dry now and ready for a good scour. I'm going to have to do it in bits, but that's okay. It's easier on my hands and all. I also managed to get a small Finn scoured fleece in a lovely grey that just needs carding that I'm really excited about, and then a Michigan mom with kids in 4H was selling their Jacob fleeces, and well, I had to get one of those. So... I have a lot of fleece to process and then spin up right now. The ultimate plan, so far, is to try to spin it all up close enough to the same so I can make a natural colored, possibly naturally dyed as well, fair isle sweater for myself. It feels right in my head, but I won't know if that's actually possible until I get to the spinning. Once my hands let me, that is. *sighs* So, the Jacob fleece has to go in the fermented suint bath I kept, just in case I got another raw fleece, the Finn fleece needs to get scoured, and everything needs to get carded, possibly combed, maybe dyed, too. All that means that my dang hands need to heal up despite needing to get the garden in this week. Maybe that's why my hands hurt....

CarinaI go by Bina on Ravelry, have for years, and used to have a knit blog ages ago. With everything going on with Ravelry and elsewhere, I think it's time to bring back the knit blog. Archives
