Fluffer.

Had a bright and shiny post all written up about the philosophical nature of knitting and it's relationship to time and space, but upon reading (while actually lucid) - it's steaming pile of doo-doo. Thus, a quickie post to catch up with.

Yarn Harlot was awesome - her Halifax visit has been well documented by the KOL crew (yay gang!) - and there was much rejoicing. I feel that I should apologize to the Harlot - I forgot to bring a WIP to the talk, so had to cast on (twice, oooh the shame) for a new pair of Monkey socks. Not a smart idea when you're in the front row. *cringe*

Have been spinning up a storm. In an attempt to rein in my yarn/fibre spending, I've joined three "of the month" clubs. Two fibre ones (Funky Carolina and Abby's Yarns) and one yarn. That, in addition to the occasional yarn co-op (speaking of which, Yumiko's co-ops kick ass - I'm very much looking forward to the Be Sweet co-op.) should satisfy my need to spend on yarny type objects.

This is what I made of the Funky Carolina one - it's 100% soysilk, and man did it ever leave me and the surrounding furniture covered in fluff.


But it's so purty...clearly, I need more practice spinning silky, slippery fibres, as the yarn's a bit on the uneven side. Now I gotta go and research how to set the twist on soysilk - I wonder if it behaves like wool at all?
