Spinning a Rainbow

 Those ancient Jacob batts I had dyed and carded ages ago were so lovely that I almost hated to tear into them for some Olympic spinning.

I started with the pretty teal during the opening ceremony. I am working on my Olympic knitting during the daytime coverage but at night I am just spinning during the dreadful NBC rehash of the "important" events since I can't see well enough to knit in the dark anymore. Old eyes are no fun. Neither is the NBC coverage of the games. Am I the only one confused? I try to keep up with the events but they are all cut and pasted together in a way that doesn't make sense. Even The Mister was complaining about it.

    Agreed, but your spinning is going to create some gold medal gorgeous yarn!

    Those are beautiful colors. I can't wait to see your yarn. I'm just the opposite. I knit at night and spin during the day. ;-)

    I'm not watching a lot of the coverage but am disappointed in the coverage I do get. Have you tried OTT lights or full spectrum lights for working at night? I think Wally World may have the OTT. I know JoAnn's does, You can check either Lowes or Home Depot for full spectrum light bulbs.
