"Can music come and save your soul?"
I really couldn't think of a title for the entry, and I'm hooked on Tilly and the Wall again, so I thought I'd just use a lyric. Not to mention, I've been spinning to them quite a bit. I think my wheel's name may be Tilly. I had thought it was Eileithyia, after the Greek goddess of Childbirth who was also a clever spinner. That after listening to a lot of New Age music while spinning. So I'm still not sure.
I've decided to make a cabled purse. I tried to think of the perfect yarn to use. I was thinking something a bit tweedy or heathered, but after looking at the Cafe, I still hadn't decided. after traffic school, I stopped by Sophie's, and still didn't find anything that really struck me. The plan was to spin my own tweed mix, but I got home and remembered the heathered tan merino I'd spun. Perfect!
At the shop, I started talking to one of the girls who works there, whose name I've forgot already. (Sorry! I'm terrible with names.) But she also has a blog, 
Yeah, Halloween votive holders filled with coins.
I attempted to block the shawl, but that was a bust. Right now, it's the Not-So Shaped-Triangle. Quite a bit of the teal bled when I soaked the shawl, but the loss of color isn't severe. I've already told Kirstie she's helping me block this when she comes into town in a few weeks. Here it is, strethed out from wetting it though...
