LYS closed, no surprise there. It really is a shame. I got October started off well, got the job I wanted at Joann. Week 2 down, and I am still enjoying myself for the most part. I am a touch burnt out on putting away fabric, and I am sure I haven't even seen the worst of it yet. I am enjoying working at the cutting counter, I saw a few old students (all in the same day, strange?) The new girl and myself have to vacuum the floor at night.....argh! I don't like to vacuum, never did, never will. And Vacuuming the floor of a store is like 100x less fun, and it gets stuck on things so I have to run back and forth. but dispite my late night in store vacuuming loathingfullness I really am enjoying having a "really real" job again, ya can't beat steady income. I mean come on......I HAVE HOBBIES TO SUPPORT!!!

I was going to be a vendur at a local Mill -in event at the end of the month, but SF Giants baby blanket, stirring big pots of candy, bunny bite to the finger, and work have prevented me from getting anything done. Well just a few things, not nowhere close to what I was hopeing for. I may or may not go anyway, unless I am working of-course.

I'm officially a spinner now, makes me wish I still had that Dead or Alive cd I usedto listen to in high school. Then I could play You Spin Me Round whilst I spin some fiber around. How fun does that sound?

You spin me right round baby right round
like a record baby right round round round

I can't get it out now. Dramn

Knitting projects on the needles.

• The SF Giants baby blanket - my own pattern
• First pair of Frankensocks

those are the ones I'm working on currently, others on the needles set aside

• entrelac baby blanket - my own design
• sweater for me
• sculptable scarf made with steel, silk, and wool. I will felt it when finished

I think thats all, hey not bad. Just 5 projects, thats pretty cool. On the wheel right now I have a Merino, silk, bamboo blend waiting to be plied. As well as some Suri Alpaca, but I need spin another singles so I can ply. Suri Alpaca is so nice and soft, but it does really shed alot...... while your spinning it anyway.
