Things have been busy. I say that a lot.
Last week and this weekend was particularly busy, getting back into the swing of work last week and then adventures this weekend.
So this weekend I went to a spinning meetup, where I got some great advice on adjusting my wheel, had a great time and got some spinning done. (A thing I'm doing now is streaming on twitch while I spin, which is fascinating because there is a whole crafting community that streams on there.). I spun a lot last week and finished my green yarn, started plying it on the drop spindle, which I shouldn't have to do any more if I get the wheel adjusted properly, spun two of three bobbins of alpaca, bought some more roving from someone on ravelry. I actually just finished plying and putting the green yarn into a skein and it is about 560 yards, which is A Lot. Coolio. It's soft af.
Then there was five hockey games to watch online, three PWHPA and two NWHL. At some point, I had to turn off the PWHPA games and just run the two NWHL games because my wifi wasn't happy but I'm watching them this week.
Sunday, I dropped the dog at day care and drove to boston. I went to the Connecticut Whale-Boston Pride game and it was awesome. The Whale didn't win, but they didn't lose hard and looked really good while playing. The arena was packed, I got my Selander jersey signed after and a poster signed by the whole Pride team and the drive back wasn't the worst. I left around 9:30 that morning, got back at 8:30 after picking up the dog, so not too bad.
I'm a lot less concerned about the whale because they won their game on saturday! they did awesome! It was thrilling to watch!
I don't have like, any pictures because I forgot to take some but I also took posters for the whale and put them up.
I loved it so much that I'm going to try and get to the Whale-Pride game at the end of February, which is offsite in Bridgeport, CT. But I now know the daycare thing works for Mara, so I'm going to give it a try.

Perhaps you are often busy?
That's an extremely pretty alpaca skein! Here's hoping the wheel behaves with respect to plying.
May Mara go right on enjoying daycare!
