Procraftinating

I have an errand to run but am dawdling the day away. 

I did find a laceweight yarn in my stash that I can ply with the Leonora silk blend. It is from a gradient set I bought years ago at Rhinebeck from The Unique Sheep. I have no idea what I thought I would knit with it.

Anyway, I thought it was a good companion yarn as one of the colours in the gradient is a very close match to the silk blend. It is the horizontal strand over the Permin yarn. 

Each ball of yarn is 25g. Plied together will yield 50g - more than enough for a VEVO. Later today I'll haul out the spinning wheel again and ply the two together. 

I also found a bunch of remnant sock yarns mistakenly put in my remnant laceweight bin. I may have to begin another 'Excavation' blanket - this time a much bigger one. Here are a couple I've previously knit.

I used random acrylic worsted weight yarns for this wonky one. I keep it in the car for wintery rides.

I watched 'Adolescence' on Netflix yesterday. It gives a good insight as to what kids have to deal with on social media and the harm that can come of cyber bullying. It certainly explains why many boys/young men are reluctant to ask girls/young women out with the risk of cruel ridicule always looming. So sad.

I also listened to a very interesting and somewhat disturbing true crime podcast yesterday called 'Blink'. The young person it is about actually narrated it. Another episode will be released tomorrow. It's free.

I think I need to find some more uplifting things to listen to and watch.
