Drove to spinning again. I found myself panicking as I headed to the door and was fretting about the weather. Mr L offered to chauffeur me, but I would not let him. I need to get a grip on this thing. I did not like driving that big thing in this wind, though.
At spinning today I learned to chain ply. I had to do this because I miscalculated on the number of bobbins required. What I failed to realise was…. it was no solution - I still needed an extra bobbin :-)
Anyway - two new skills today - chain plying, and I found out where the wiper switch was on the car.
This afternoon I completed the Cheviot tops; all spun and plyed now. I had some left over from the 2ply on one bobbin, so attempted the chain plying again. What a mess I got into without G’s assistance!
The final bobbin of 2ply will be skeined on Sunday, when I get my noddy noddy back from loan to J. Then there will be a photograph to mark this historic occasion!
Am now disappearing into the workroom to try and create another book example for Sunday - still struggling with my haiku for the contents… and my head is brewing up again. Maybe it’s the weather, which is foul.
Hope the weather improves, or its going to be a bouncy ride to Kirkwall at the weekend. That’s if the ferry isn’t cancelled due to strike action.
Never a dull moment….
All I really want to do is go to bed and sleep for a week. Or maybe… try the BFL tops…
Today’s cakes were Carrot Cake and Fruitcake. I can’t vouch for the fruitcake, but I had two slices of light and delicious carrot cake.
