Spinning meme

My first meme! Got this one from Maia:

Bold those things you have done, italicize those you wish to do, and leave plain the ones that are of no interest to you.

******************************

What does this show? Why, that I'm a dilettante, of course! I've tried all sorts of things but haven't finished a major project. That's my biggest goal right now. I'm spinning for a vest for me right now, and intend to spin & knit a sweater for next winter. I have about two thousand yards of sport weight yarn that I think will become a shawl, but I can't decide if I want to knit it or weave it or maybe even crochet it (I am fascinated by the construction of the crocheted shawl in the last SpinOff). Or maybe it will be something else. Anyways, I've been spinning on and off for 14 years; it's time I had some BIG THINGS to show for it.

I'm going away for the weekend -- just me, no spouse, no kids. I'm really hoping this will give me the chance to make some serious progress on my Pi Are Squared shawl, as long as the TSA cooperates.

Have a nice Memorial Day weekend.
