Had a wonderful deep sleep . . .

and I'm up at 3:15.  Well, I guess I'll get to work.  I'll probably need a nap sometime.  I'm relaxed because all the chores are done.  Not the work, just the chores.  ;)!

I want to finish all eight of Triangle Stripes #1.  And maybe try Bright Triangles #90 in Wool Ease because it seems so much like #1.

It's hot.  I'm going to open the door and windows.  I hope I don't get conked in the head.  I decided on just the window because our street light is burned out.

Went to Warped Weavers on Ravelry for inspiration and decided to go to page 373 and the very first project posted.  :)  It was a shawl made with hand dyed and hand spun yarn for the weft.  But the idea was to go from pale to dark and back again.  I remembered the freebie boucle I got at Joann's and the sock yarn warps I already measured, so I combined them and will make a shawl if they are wide enough.  There is a blankie already threaded but I've been waiting forever for some more warp yarn from Walmart.  Time to regroup and get weaving.

Oh, oh getting tired again.  Guess I'll have a decaf.  :)  I just needed a hour more of shut eye.

I've had a brain storm, or was it a fart (?), let's make it "Just Finish It June."  So I went to the first post here and it's about the Cozy Creamy afghan.  So I'll order some more yarn Monday and get cracking.

Time to recondition everything so I laid out the two rigid heddle looms and I'll get some sand paper and finish feeder Monday if I can find any.  Think I'll get some new seine twine, too.  And order the 10 dent reed so I have one of each.  I can't believe these looms are nearly $300 new.  Gadfree!  I think I'll have fun and stain one of them a funky color.

Well, that about takes care of today.  Guess I'll eat and go back to bed.  Nice breeze and very fresh air this morning.  Ahhhhhh.

I joined a group on Ravelry for the 200 Crochet Blocks book.  Lots of fun and I'm reading everything.  Got some good advice on yarns to use.  Here's the list I can get:
Caron Simply Soft
Red Heart Love
Vanna's Choice
Red Heart Soft

Waiting for the sun to set so I can relax and have dinner.  Nighty night.  Going to do a Netflix marathon tonight.
