liralenI'm astonishingly unmotivated by work today. My parents arrive tomorrow. John and I leave Friday morning for our cruise. I have a sudden yarn-lust that I might satisfy at the local Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby and probably regret putting all the time and work I'd put into something acrylic, but it'd be easy to wash, and Jet won't mind, either way.
The new acrylics feel so much nicer than the old, plasticy ones that would sweat when one sweated in them. Ughy stuff. I'll have to see what I see.
Kid clothing is so rewarding, as they're just so *fast* to make, especially by knitting and compared to an adult sweater or a truly ambitious afghan or throw or whatever.
Jet and I are going to meet John at the Longmont Rec. Center this afternoon, and I might leave early to do yarn shopping. John and I have been good, lately, and gotten to the Rec. Center and done an hour long workout, between aerobic equipment and weights, two times each week for a while. I've dropped the deep water aerobics as it's just not *enough* anymore, and that's been a really great thing to realize. I'm getting stronger.

Very, very dangerous.
Hee. It's one of those places where I could have a major yarn accident, rather than just a minor, $20 splurge. With the part-time job/salary, I much prefer the smaller accident. *grin*
Plus the place reminds me, too much, of the five fleeces, the Scottish angora, the bunny angora, the ten pounds of silk fiber, the naturally colored cotton, the dozen smooth golden hackles of flax, and the twenty thousand spinning projects that I'd planned and can't complete because of my hands. Not to mention the black walnut, counter-balanced loom that languishes in the relative comfort of the finished basement. Of course Jet's kind of interested in that, so I might break it out to let him learn on it when he can actually reach the boom.
Me! Guilty!
Quite. I know I once decided that I had more fiber than I could possibly spin in my lifetime, and it's just more that way. So I avoid the natural fiber yarn stores at the moment. *grin*
Must... Share!
hee.
hugs!
