No shame

The green yarn from last week is done. And stuffed in the back of a drawer. I have seldom suffered so much frustration from yarn. I quit trying to attach the single when it broke, it broke almost every 5 yards. I have no idea how many knots are in there now. Bleh.

Spinning is really contagious. I spun on Friday, Saturday and yesterday trying to fill a bobbin. This morning I had a small amount to go and it’s done now. As soon as I finish plying my yarn for my Vlinder Shawl, I’m starting on this one. I think I can manage enough yarn for Kvothe. That’s going to be my travel project in July when I go to Knit nation.

I noticed today that it really doesn’t matter what people think of my knitting in public. I had a dentist appointment this morning and had to wait more than 20 minutes. With a sock, which caused comments. Usually I politely answer the person, this time I pulled the first sock out of my bag and showed it to the lady. She played along very politely. I showed a complete stranger my knitted sock. Full pride and without shame.
