I spun this yarn in July of 2012.  Tomorrow I'll show you the Shawl I made from it. 

Yesterday I went to get the tire fixed.  I took my husband's sock to knit wile I waited.  The people came to inspect our apartment.  Technically we failed.  It was because the utility closet wasn't clear around the water heater.  The reason it was a mess in there was because every thing got thrown in since they were coming.  I will straighten it out tomorrow and they will inspect it again on Monday.  I know I'm weird but that stressed me out.  I ended up doing more or less nothing from then till today.  I did watch kdram and frog a sweater I have been meaning to frog for a wile.  The pieces are soaking and hanging in an attempt to get the wrinkles out. 

The drama I've been watching is called Secret.  It's different and I would call it a melodrama .  I would love to say all my feeling on it but I really don't want to spoil.  I started it yesterday and I'm on episode 9 now.  Basically it is the story of a woman in love and the bad choice she makes for that love and the fall out around it. The other girls in the Ravelrey group (I call them the "naughty girls" because some of them are about their biases) were call her a doormat and in need of a spine.  I disagree.  She is naive and made one critical bad choice but other than that she is doing the best she can in the situation she is in.  As a supplement to this story is the decent of a man from idealistic and noble to power hungry and malicious.  There is a scene that is very interesting where he is watching something unfold and his look of anger and madness as he is laughing and crying at the same time.  It was kind of creepy.  I cried so you might too.  If you are looking for this be careful because there is another show with the same name (I think it's Taiwanese) about music school or something. 

A wile back I made a purple sweater from a plus size crochet book I got for .25 at the library.  I had interesting bell sleeves but other than that it didn't have shaping as it had one button at the bust.  Because it was a cotton linen blend I threw it in the wash on cold and laid it flat to dry.  There was a mesh section on the sleeves and it stretched so the sleeves where very weird and big.  I've been meaning to frog it for a wile now but hadn't gotten around to it.  I signed up to test a shrug an it calls for the yarn that is in the sweater (well dk weight) and so I had motivation to frog it.  The designer has made a new stitch so this should be interesting.

As a side note to be clear, most of the pictures I am showing are older unless other wise noted.  I didn't know if that was clear.  Once I run out of old pictures I will put more in progress ones of what I'm working on right now.  I think that's it.  I'm writing so late I may not really have much to say tomorrow.  Sorry.
