First Fails of 26

 

That nasty scarf is finally off the loom. I hate everything about it. I hated working on it. I hated how the colors pooled, I hated how stiff and scratchy it is. It's Zauberball in case you're wondering. It's good for sturdy socks but not good for something you want around your neck. It's an ugh for sure.

My next project showed up in the mail yesterday at just the right time. I hate the loom being empty for long.

Cotton Clouds tempted me with a kit and a sale so this towel in the Frosty Morning colorway is going to be getting some attention when I find a spare moment. There was none to be found yesterday.

It was 62 degrees here yesterday and I made the mistake of wandering out to supervise The Mister and his chainsaw adventure and ended up doing yard work all day while at the same time....

...running in and out of the house giving Betty the attention she needed while she was in the process of trying to become bread. Those every 30 minute stretch and folds are very time consuming but I guess I got a good workout running up and down the stairs all day. It was all for nothing though because she never did her thing. My first attempt at bulk fermentation was a big fail. She grew a little but there was no jiggle, not many bubbles and after 8 hours she was just a big sticky mess. After doing some homework I think Betty is still too young to do the job. I'll keep feeding and pampering her for a while longer and try again.
