before there was dood...

there was this stuff. the tv show it goes along with [Swingtown] is amusing enough, but i really am liking the music. serious flashback time.

---

my tour de fleece experience is off the rails. i haven't spun in 3 days, but i have been working hard on Knitty and am cutting myself some slack.

the 2 ounces of tussah is half spun already, so i'm sure i'll finish by the end of the challenge. perhaps that's the problem. set a harder challenge and you can't let it drop without a disaster.

---

also, i'm beading again. i am stuck at how to finish the bands of peyote i've completed so they look professional and are functional without being uncomfortable to wear. i'm expecting a few bead books to arrive up here shortly, and i think they'll help significantly.

and in the downtime since i picked it up last, my large-bead peyote has become tidier [or at least i've figured out how to keep it tidier now]. pictures forthcoming shortly.

really, lots of work going on here. thank heavens i didn't plan any travel this summer. i'd be out of my mind if i had to go anywhere beyond the back yard or one of my two LYSs.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna have to watch that show.

Congrats on getting back to some beading, my beads just sit on the shelf above the computer begging me to make something stunning.
 
Service Above Self. Thank you for working on Knitty! You have permission to go back to Tour de Fleece.
 
See, if you're writing or even just THINKING about writing your knittyspin column...or, ok, even occasionally glancing past that page...I think it should count as part of your tour de fluff run.

Just saying.
 
hey, kim -- i opened the box today of a spinning product i'll be reviewing for Knittyspin. so that does count, eh? woo hoo!
 
I love the Swingtown music, too. But I was in college in 1976, when the show is set, and now I'm wondering if any "grown-ups" I knew were behaving that way!
