Wet

Gloomy and dark, with occasional rain, sometimes heavy.

That about sums it up. I feel as if I got very little done today, though actually I did a fair amount. It just wasn't what I really thought I should be doing.

I did complete a critique of the first paragraph of that long "story," and essentially re-wrote the paragraph in the end with half as many words, more action, and most of the facts still present. This is not because I'm a great writer (though of course I am... ;p) but rather because the original was so lacking in concentration and movement.

Gary brought back a tool for me from his civil war event: a knitter's distaff. It hangs from your wrist to hold a ball of yarn so you can move around while knitting without trailing a ball around behind you. I actually think it will be more useful when spinning with a drop spindle, to hold the unspun fiber. I'll have to try it that way and see.

*waits till you've gone then hides the distaff and sits by the yarn box looking interested*

Humbug! I used it today, so you didn't hide it very well. Trying to bury it in the litterbox won't work, it's too shiny.
