happyConfused yet? I am.......grrrrrrrr. Looks like I will have to take a day off, go into the county courthouse the next county over, pick up the license (and, probably, PAY for it again, since I never received the original), then drive back to my county, go into the PO, and tell the lazy SOB's what's what. :sigh:
I mean - I have to take a day off anyway to change my driver's license...but this? Is ridiculous!
:grump:
In other, happier news: I started winding a new warp last night. The alpaca/silk/wool scarf that is currently on the loom is such a disaster that I find myself *avoiding* the loom completely - not a happy state of affairs. The yarn is lovely; it's weaving up beautifully, but the damn warp threads keep drifting apart - I spun it with knitting in mind, not weaving, and I was just using up the leftovers. I think it's time to :gasp: cut it off the loom and start fresh....so that's what I'm doing.
I've decided to *finally* use the afghan warp (WARNING: Big pictures. Sorry - but they're big. Click at your own risk! BL/Falkland Island 2-ply @ 12 WPI) I spun up ages and ages ago...but not for an afghan. *g* It'll be a nice, fluffy shawl - using the kid mohair/silk weft yarn, of course. So, the afghan, but on a smaller scale. It'll go faster, I'll see progress, and I'll finally use up some of the handspun that's been breeding in the stash.
We'll see how it turns out.....
I also decided on my Sunday School lesson next week - Joseph and his coat of many colors. I have an excuse to warp up a loom (probably the RH) with colorful yarn (in stripes, of course!), pack a handspindle, and explain why the coat was worth so much (how much time goes into handmade things? Discuss!), then let them weave a bit. *heheheheheheheheheh* Get 'em hooked young.......Enabling? Who, moi? :batts eyes:
Must run - got a hot lunch date with my State Inspector Hubby. *g* (Newly licensed as of today - he can do all inspections now, not just safety ones. Whee!)
