What was the plan?

While clearing off one of the (MANY) horizontal surfaces in my home that accumulate junk, I found a bag from Joann with some doodads in it: a dozen buttons, some Czech beads, beading needles, and needle threaders. The receipt was from February 2024, and there is a blog entry that shows the buttons (they were for the Lempi sweater, which has different buttons on it), but the rest is a mystery.

Knitting: My SO's socks are about half-done, turning heels.
Spinning: Still working on the Romney.
Weaving: *Trying* to get the 24" Ashford rigid heddle loom warped.


When I was working, I'd get home too tired to do much of anything. To counter that, I started getting up earlier so I could spend some time doing things I wanted to do, usually involving fiber. (It helped to be a morning person.) I find myself in a similar situation now: I sleep until whenever, read the news and do some puzzles while drinking tea, walk the dog... and suddenly it is almost time for lunch. So now I am making a point of getting up earlier and spinning while I drink my tea and listen to Morning Edition on NPR. It's a much more pleasant way to start the day.
