I have not been in a knitting mood. Quarter end at my lovely accounting gig has finally ended and I am so exhausted that I haven't the energy to knit a single stitch. Socks, if you can believe it, do not appeal to me at the moment and neither does any of the other projects I am working on. I am in a knitting funk and I hate that. There is nothing worse then not wanting to do the things you love the most. This month has been draining to say the least and it is only half way done.....oh dear.
Since knitting has been put on the back burner I have been trying to spin a little bit. I haven't touched my spinning wheels since the end of spring due to the heat but the weather has been quite chilly here in New England making it perfect. I cleaned and oiled my beautiful Ashford Traveller spinning wheel this weekend.
I love this wheel. I bought it on craigs list earlier this year and have been in love ever since. I didn't spin as much as I wanted to...maybe an ounce...
That is
Spunky Eclectic BFL in colorway Riverwalk. It spins like a dream and the colors are very pretty =) I am hoping for a heavy fingering weight for socks =)
Other then that, nothing too eventful besides work work work. I have yet to go apple picking and I don't have a halloween costume. Ugh....very frustrating all around and this is supposed to be my FAVORITE month!
Don't you just hate when you should be enjoying something, and you aren't? I hate that! I, myself have been in a blogging funk lately which is weird! At least you are getting some great spinning done! It's gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you come up with for a Halloween costume.
