I really tried to think of a title for this post. Nothing. Not a single cliche or kitchy phrase. Probably due to the fact that all week it has been hot, humid, and/or rainy. Also, my husband left for fish camp earlier this week. Therfore I have been suffering from a case of the blahs. There has been knitting and almost an equal amount of unknitting. The mystery stole was kicking my butt earlier this week. I think I have finally shown it who is in charge around here. I am now 2/3's of the way through clue #1. Or it has taken pity on me and is letting me think I've won. Either way...

I also did a little shopping for my upcoming trip to Stitches Midwest. I needed some beads, sock yarn, and a spindle. Ok, I needed some beads and a spindle. The yarn was a bonus. Since I have already tried my hand at the first step of yarn making, I thought I'd give spinning a try. I don't know if the lesson will start a new hobby, but I thought it would be nice to give in to my curiosity.

While I am excited about learning to use a spindle, I must admit the beads have pleased me most. I was unsure if I would find beads that worked with the red and the blue spots of color in the Lorna's Laces. What do you know, reddish blue beads!

Did I mention it was hot?
