Studio MelonHead

I’m off to see the studio this morning and I can’t help it…I’m excited. I just found out that there are no windows, but this is Vancouver. I intend on biking to the studio so I’ll have enough sunshine and view there and back and it has a small kitchen, common area and a full bathroom and shower. In case I feel like working all night (which happens) and no one at my house needs to be tortured by my working hours.

The yarn is being reskeined now, I love the colours (and the cashmere—sorry it’s all spoken for). However the sock yarn is up for grabs. The only thing I will not make, except for my test pair for the yarn.

And the rovings dried so quickly that I had no excuse not to spin them. I realize I didn’t have to spin them all, but what the hell…..

I seem to be consistent at 125 yards plied for 100- 105 grams giving me somewhere between a sport weight and an aran weight.

I just figured out why I spent so much time on the wheel yesterday…..This thing…honestly, I wish I could say that I was a swift cookie with the paperwork, but it overwhelms me and actually makes me a little sick. GST isn’t a difficult calculation, but this form makes me all sweaty..

Here’s hoping that the studio is all that I need it to be. I am bringing Joan for an objective 2nd opinion. I would be inclined to love it, even if it was a dungeon.

Studio, Here I Come

And it’s about time. The dyeing has taken over, the rovings are insurmountable and there is no room to move in this place.

Wow……I wonder what it would be like to have a small bed, a chair and table for reading and the laptop in the spare bedroom…..hmmm. Yep, it’s time to take this show to it’s own little space. John will be pleased. The cats will be pleased. I will be delighted.

MelonHead is growing up.
