I've lost the narrative thread

(Extra points to anyone who remembers the commercial with that line in it. El Fuego is disqualified, because we use that line around here all the time.)


I've got two more dishcloths. I knit the yellow dishcloth in one long-distance knitting marathon on Friday - it's the classic corner-to-corner-with-yarnovers - and then worked on the blue one in wee little bursts, four or six rows at a time, until I finally finished it up yesterday. It's another Chinese Waves, and this one is all ocean and sky. The view from a fishing boat, perhaps.

Haven't really felt like knitting the last few days, though. I seem to have a new hobby.


Ballwinding. These will, someday, become a fair whack of socks for Afghans for Afghans.


A pair of socks for Horatio, one of these days. (I don't know how the blue yarn escaped the ballwinder.)


Oh look! My Primavera socks, still in two 220-yard lengths of string.

On the other hand, a tremendous amount of housework has gotten done the last couple of days, in between bouts of yarn-winding, so it seems I'm just in some kind of Spring Cleaning While Dreaming About Socks frenzy. I'd better go get everything off the kitchen counters and give them a good scrubbing quick, before I feel like knitting again!
