T- 6 days

T-6 days until closing and the stupid fax didn’t go through on Saturday and when I tried to resend it today it is getting a busy signal or didn’t send all the pages or something stupid. The last time I sent stuff I scanned it into a pdf and emailed it. I might have to do that again since the stupid fax machine isn’t working on their side (or maybe it is ours, whatever)…

And today is my good friend George’s birthday! It is amazing when I think about how long we have been friends. I first met him almost thirteen years ago after spring break of my sophomore year in college (he was dating my roommate). I think George is one of my oldest friends. Not that he is old, just that we’ve been friends for a long time. One day I’ll have a post about the coolness of George. Everyone needs a George in their life. Maybe I’ll do that in May since that is when he is being called up from Army reserve to active status for 5 months of training before being sent to Iraq.

Spinning!

Over the weekend, I finished spinning a second bobbin of the pink pencil roving. After my first disastrous attempt at navajo plying, something clicked on Monday and I got it and plied up an entire bobbin. So, I have pictures! First up is what is left of the big wheel of pencil roving that I got for my birthday.

Second up is the small of the two bobbins I’ve spun up so far.

And last but not least, is the skein of navajo plying that I plied and washed on Monday. The result is a 3 ply worsted yarn (about 10 WPI).
