After the first few weeks of my internship being busy everyday, it was kind of nice to take things at a slower pace yesterday. After sheep chores, cleaning the house, and a pleasant lunch, Sue came over and we counted skeins of yarn. It was nice to see all the colors laid out next to each other. Each type of yarn has a different color palate. Sometimes the colors overlap between types, and sometimes they're vastly different within the same type, but it's nice to see them anyway. We got though all the yarn in the truck, thus effectively unpacking the truck from Thursday's market adventure. Then Gretchen decided she was done. It was pretty hot out there. So, Sue went home and we came inside and watched a movie, and knitted. I finished the gusset on my sock, and Gretchen is almost done her scarf. Whip It, the roller derby movie, was fantastic.
Today and tomorrow should be pretty much the same idea. It's too hot to be outside, so we'll find things to do inside, like skeining, and re-skeining, and computer inventory things. There will be plenty to do, just not outside. Monday we should be ready to dye some more sock yarn and Sue will come over so we can finish the inventory. Tuesday Gretchen and I are going to DC to see the Textile Museum and then send me home for the week.
But now it's time for sheep chores.
