I spent the better part of an hour today trying to untangle one of the skeins of no longer stinky silk that I washed. I should have known better than to throw all of those skeins into the spin cycle of my washing machine. One of them appears hopeless, but I won't know until I try. No way will I get it on a swift, but I'll try to get the job done by hand... a good thing to do while watching hours of cycling. The sweater bodice is done, and now there are only a few miles of stockinette to complete. The nice thing about this sweater, since I'm weaving and trimming ends as I go, is that once it's done, it's done. Attach a button and it's good to go. I'm in no hurry since it's hot as hell here. Again. No chance I'll need a sweater anytime in the near future.

After lunch, I spent a couple of hours helping the search party on Ravelry. This required me to go through all of my booklets, magazines and books to be sure everything I own is uploaded in my notebook first. It was fun to thumb through items I haven't looked at in years. Years. I saw all over again, the reasons I bought those publications in the first place. The search party is a win-win for Ravelry and knitters. Of course, the reason I did it at all was the 35 attempts to score one of the prizes. We'll see. Every pattern I added labels to is entered to win. I still have 11 that I skipped, so if nobody else tries, I'll go back and label those. I got bored looking at that book.

Did you label any of your patterns for Rav?
