stupid bank.  stupid rude people who work at the bank.  customer service, my aunt fanny’s fat butt.  i do, finally, have my account straightened out.  only a week and a half later.

now that i have the whining out of the way… gosh, i guess i’d better get moving to get this posted to keep up with my ‘once-a-week’ goal…

i’ve been taking vacation days this week, and will part of next week.  it is loverly.  my agency only allows us to carry over about 246 hrs. of vacation year to year.  last year, i carried that over AND lost about 130 additional vacation hours.  not.  happening.  again!  if i can help it.

i do have a little knitting and spinning content.  i’ve been trying to fill a bobbin with some very nice cream BFL singles.  almost done!

i’m spinning the singles on my Joy DT that i bought last year.  i just love this wheel!  it’s not the fanciest, but it met all of my criteria:  i could afford it, it fits into my smallish house, and it is practically idiot-proof!  and the ‘gothic window’ shape of the wheel is aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.

knitting content… i haven’t been doing much, but i did start a new summery sweater the other day.  it’s the ‘Miley Tee’ from www.c2knits.com.  it’s just a simple top-down, short sleeved little tee with a 2-3 button placket, and a purled gusset on each side seam that can be increased, or not, to be as swingy or as close as needed.  i’m doing mine in ‘I Love This Cotton’ in vintage teal.  the collar ribbing was started on US size 4 KP’s, and then moved up to US size 6.  pictures next time.

i hope everyone had a safe and wonderful time celebrating the birthday of the greatest nation on earth.  i know i did.  it certainly reminded me to appreciate what freedoms we are still able to enjoy here, and to remember every single person who has given in the pursuit of those freedoms.

happy knitting and spinning, y’all.
