Yawn?

Now that I've recovered from the Papillon project, I'm starting on Free Your Fade by Andrea Mowry,

With these yarns:

Qing Fibre High Twist BFL Sock, Hummingbird

Madelinetosh Twist Light, Electric Rainbow

Qing Fibre High Twist BFL Sock, Panda
(There's a pink panda?)

I'm not sure the combination will work, but we'll see.

My problem?

It's kind of boring to knit.

I wonder if I will end up missing working on Papillon...

I Might Be Crazy, part 2

Before sallyknit arrived to teach Connie and me how to knit Papillon, I got my yarn out, untwisted the skein, and put it on the swift.  

But the yarn had been so badly skeined that I couldn't wind it. It turned into this:

Feza Yarns Uneek fingering

I can't even...

So I pulled out the second skein and decided to wait for whoever arrived first to help me wind it. Poor Connie was the first victim  guest. She and I tried to wind the second skein, but it was as badly skeined as the first.

Now it looks like this, after three of us tried to wind it by hand:

I knitted with a small bit of yarn that we could untangle, and dH has been working on the rest for hours. He always cleans up the kitchen after dinner, but I offered to do that if he preferred to continue on the yarn untangling project.

He said that was a good deal.

No, it wasn't.  

Hours to go before he sleeps.
