Obsessions

 My obsessions are spinning and travel, with sides of knitting and reading.

I finally started one large spinning project (combo spin with combo draft) and started second guessing myself halfway through the first bobbin.  I'm not sure if I want to change my plan or keep on.   On the other hand, I've got so many other spinning projects planned with supplies bought, I decided to just put that project on hold.  So this evening I started on of the other planned projects.  It's also a combo spin, but with tonals.  It will be a two ply, with one being a combo draft of tonal dark brown rambouillet and blue-purple merino silk flax blend (from Nest) and the second one is combo drafted tonal dark purple (from the same dyer as the brown) rambouillet and purple/tan/grey polwarth silk flax blend (from Hipstrings bought at my last class at PlyAway 2019).  I made a small sample to make sure the colors worked, then started on the first bobbin.  It ends u p being a variable muted purple.  Which is on brand for me.  

As for travel, I am totally lost in googling around on things to see on my next trip, a road trip through the northwest with Lawnchair.  I have route basically planned and stuff I want to stop and see every day.  Lots of geology and landscape, very little cultural.  I've reached out to a high school friend to hopefully get coffee.  Haven't decided if I want to out to random uncle and do dinner.
