Nada

I got nothing today. Really.

All the knitting on Pavillion is finished, but I desperately need to buckle down and end-weave so I can block, seam and do the neckline. End-weaving procrastination has prevented me from getting anything new on the needles.

Softball socks are done. Yarn is wound for their replacement on the needles, but that’s far as I’ve gotten.

The store sample BSJ is finished, minus the shoulder seams. Yarn for a new BSJ is also wound, but I haven’t cast on.

Yarn for my next sweater (vest with MadTosh) is ready for swatching, but I haven’t done that yet either.

Yesterday, I went down to the store and got Sandy to help me with a little crochet project. I blame Cristi for this. It’s 100% her fault.


That’s literally the only thing I have on the hooks or needles at the moment. So I shall distract you with shiny new (better) pictures of the loom. Keep in mind, I have no idea what I’m looking at, aside from the fact that the cherry wood is beautiful and I did figure out how to put it back together so it looks just like it did at Obi-Wan’s house (that’s how I’ll refer to the woman who sold me the loom and will, hopefully, help me figure out how to use the damn thing)

Um … uh … what is there to say?

That's my living room.

I kind of bought a loom.

I split it with my mom.

We’re the third owner(s) of this particular loom, which is long out of production. It’s a Norwood 850 Cherry wood loom, sold with all of the previous owner’s accessories. The whole shebang is in the picture, with highlights including a 14-yard warping board, a McMorran Balance, and a metric crap-ton of things I can’t identify (yet). And a box full of books.

Chances are outstanding that I’m in WAY over my head, but hopefully it will be fun to doggy-paddle out of the pool before I drown.

And if I wind up in the insane asylum, point to today as the day the madness started.

Oh, and wish me luck. I think I’m gonna need it.
