A Little Bit of Spinning Does a Heart Good


Been consistently working on spinning up some Superwash Merino for a pair of socks. This will be my first attempt and because it is my first time I'm finding that I'll have to have a pair of socks with different color heels and toes (and maybe cuffs). Still working on the singles at this time (pictures to follow) but I'm hoping to finish those today and begin some navajo plying this weekend. The last go at n-plying was shaky so I want to make sure I have PLENTY of time set aside so I don't have to stop in the middle. I seem to have a really tough time picking up where I left off with this technique.

On the movie front there has been a serious influx of activity. Wednesday night we watched Sherlock Holmes. It was entertaining but moved a little slow for my taste, although I do love watching Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law go back and forth in an English accent. I'd watch it again and am hoping the sequel turns out better since the first movie always has a lot of set up of characters.

Last night we watched a kids movie (it's a bit too shameful to name) and let's just say that it was really bad and leave it at that:)

This is Easter weekend and I hope everyone has nice weather and good times with family and friends!
