Ok, I'll stop procrastinating and post.

I did indeed buy the antique wheel recently pictured in this journal that Hannelore let me take home, and I've been happily spinning on it every day since it entered the house. I'd sort of been postponing posting for various yarn-related reasons, like wanting to have enough finished yarns to take some photos of, both to mark my progress and for media for my website, and then I realised that I should just do it anyway, lest I procrastinate forever. So.. even though I started soaking several skeins tonight and they aren't pictured, I think this is still a fair sample of some of my recent work.

Other than spinning and sleep, not much to report. Still waiting to hear back from GW, and I still haven't made the pumpkin stew I wanted to try earlier this week... but the pumpkin will keep until Sunday or Monday, I'm sure.
Friday night, we've been invited to a party some of the other Bio grad students are having, and then we'll go to a midnight showing of The Shining, which H has never seen. Saturday is the big Spiral Dance in San Francisco, and Sunday is sleep and laundry. I'd probably be happier about making the stew if I didn't have to bake the pumpkin for an hour.

Our costumes arrived, Henri's a few days ago and mine on Thursday morning. I haven't tried mine on yet, but the stitching is much better than the other one, so I'm happier already. Henri's V costume looks amazing on him.. and I'll probably wear it myself at some point down the road.

Ok.. time for a snack and some more spinning before bed.

Later.
