::waves:: Hallo again!

A special hello to anyone who’s wandered over here from the fabulous Tsock Tsarina’s blog!

Last night I made a new page, with the stories of the Mythic yarns. Check it out. Some of the stories still need a bit more fleshing out, but you can see what’s been done and why.

I’m going to be dyeing (and spinning) a bunch more this weekend (yay! a rare weekend these days I can spend doing what I like), and as soon as that’s dry, they’ll go up in the shop. I really wish I had more time to devote to this, as I’m still recovering my stock size from Rhinebeck, unfortunately, there’s this annoying “job” thing which pays my bills.

Currently, I’m spending a lot of time in the lab, counting thousands (yes, thousands) of yeast (one at a time too), which takes away from the time I’d like to spend on Gnomespun. If things go well, I’ll be writing and publishing my paper come January/February, followed by my dissertation. When that’s done… I will be Dr. Gnome! Also, I’ll have a much more predictable schedule with (hopefully) actual free evenings and weekends.

So until then, please bear with me, check back regularly, and I’ll get as much stuff up as possible!

As for the blog, I hope to do a post about fiber-reactive dye chemistry soon. Because, despite spending all day every day thinking about science… it still interests me.

Rats. I just realized I forgot to pack my lunchtime knitting. I’m designing a scarf. Because, well, I’m never quite happy with the options out there, so why not make my life more difficult? ::chuckles::
