TdF: Week Two

 

As usual, I adjust to every new wave of chaos and manage to find a few minutes to do something for me-like spin. I am loving this colorway. I thought it was drab but as singles it is so pretty. I hope it stays that way after plying.

The spindles don't look a whole lot different this week but I have used them. The red got a wind off. The support spindle will get one soon. It's getting heavy. 

I'm still making thrums. 

And I finished the handspun Align mitts I started during the last Tour. I've still got a lot of that green handspun BFL/silk left and since my new rule is NOTHING goes in the handspun stash I've got to come up with a plan to use it up. 

And...in good news-which I know is rare around here, it looks like kitty is finally on the mend. It was a scary week. He didn't eat a bite for days even though it seemed like he was starving. He was so congested that I thought by Wednesday his expiration date was surely up. I've never seen a cat with such a runny nose. Finally, yesterday he started coughing and somehow that coughing broke up the congestion enough to let him finally eat.

 Now after a good breakfast, he is back guarding the deck and enjoying the sunshine-a big improvement. The poor old thing is still not 100% but I'm breathing a sigh of relief for this brief moment which around here is all I get anymore.
