I said, Be careful!

While testing the yarn from the Window Cat to determine whether it is acrylic (it is), I shook the bit of yarn to put out the flame, as one would do with a match. Bad idea. A drop of the melting fiber landed on my finger, where it stuck and burned. This is why I don't knit baby things from acrylic.

Knitting: The knitting is done for the Window Cat and the pieces are stuffed; I just need to sew the parts together. I made good progress on the ice dyed socks since this past week's weaving guild meeting happened over zoom - almost up to the heels. Started a new hat (maybe because I keep looking for a hat that looks halfway decent on me).


Spinning: The maroon merino is skeined and soaked, the twist is set, and it is hanging from the shower rod to dry.

My SO gets lots of compliments on the log cabin scarf I knit recently. The other day, I left the house without a scarf, so I wore his - it went well with the coat I was wearing. So now I am thinking I need a scarf of similar colors. Alas, there is no more in my natural dyed stash. I may need to dye some more, in walnut, henna, and onion skins.
