O.k. these are silk hankies.  The ones in the bag look really crumpled but they are just folded.  The one that is unfolded is what I'm working on.  You can see why it's called a "hankie."   It's actually a pile of really thin (really thin) layers of silk fibers.  The second picture shows the pile of fiber and the third picture shows some of it spun up. I should have put something in the picture for scale but I didn't think of it.  Basically you start in the middle and pull it farther and farther out so you can draft.  I'm kind of not "drafting" much it's more of a lot of pre-drafting.  I don't know how much of that is normal and how much is just me.  The fibers are really long so you can pull it far apart but it feels so weird and sounds like it's ripping.  I'm not enjoying it a ton so it may take me a wile.  I'll finish it eventually.

On Saturday we took my daughter half way to my sister-in-law's house.  She will be staying there this week and going to a day camp.  She loves going to her aunt's house every year.  It was fun to sit at IHOP and catch up with them.  It's not that my sister-in-law won't take Mooky for a week it's that he has some behavior issues that I think would make it hard for them to deal with him.  He is getting better so maybe in a year or so but not this one.    

For crafting, besides the spinning I have a lot of socks on the needles.  I have been working on my blue socks and actually finished one and am just past the heel on the other one. It fits better than any other sock I have made.  I made them parallel to to each other (toe, toe, foot, foot, heel, heel etc.).  One sock from the outside of the cake and one from the inside.  The coloring will be opposite but I was more concerned with making sure the numbers were the same from sock to sock.  After the heel I added stitches and went from a US size 1 to a size 2.  I am using the numbers to adjust the next socks I make so they fit even better.  I started another pair of socks for my son.  He has small feet so I thought I could get him a pair out of one small ball but now I'm not so sure.  I will make him a short cuff and maybe that will make me able to get two socks out of the ball.  I have one sock just past the heel.  For some reason I even started another pair.  This one is a stripy pair for me.  I'm only a few inches past the toe on the first sock.  I have heard people say they enjoy stripy socks because they just want to get to the next stripe.  I would like that, but in this yarn some of the stripes are a little thick.  I took pictures of all these projects and show you them over the next few days. The last thing is that I am working on is another sleep sack for donation.  I did finish the last one but I'm not sure I really like it. I may get around to showing you that eventually.

As far as watching goes I haven't done anything new.  I tried to show It's Okay. That's Love to my husband. He didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I do. It was late so that played a part but I guess I'll just watch it by myself.  We have been keeping up on most of our anime.  We are watching Baby Steps (tennis), Haikyu! (volleyball) and Free! Eternal Summer (swimming).   I generally don't like sports anime but I like these.  We saw the first episode of Sailor Moon Crystal but we have fallen behind.  I really enjoy Haikyu!  I also recently finished Sword Art Online.  I had started it when it came out but got distracted and stopped watching.  It was o.k. in the first half but I kind of liked the plot better in the second half till right at the end (half is the wrong word but I'm not sure how to explain it without spoiling).  The last few episodes get really creepy and "triggery." I was surprised when the rest of the anime was kind of fighting with some romance but that was really adult.  The only other thing I have been watching is old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.

I guess that's it for the weekend recap.  Lots of crafts and some TV.  It's kind of weird having my daughter gone.  It feels like we are off balance.  Right after she gets back we have to get ready for school.  Nothing else is going on.  Have a great day.
