Shipwreck

I am thinking very hard about knitting Shipwreck Shawl. I really like the idea of (if I use that yarn) dying it myself, since I have never dyed anything before. Also I have been itching to do some lace stuff. And I think it would be fun to work with beads for a project. I have been seeing so many pretty lace shawls and I just really want to knit one. My turn for something pretty. I am sure that part of my wanting to knit this stems from my new found love for Jacksonville, FL (since I might be moving there in a couple years...) so the whole shipwreck idea and all that.... Yeah. So anyway. I might be adding this to my list of UFO's soon. And I need some sock yarn too....
I sat down at my wheel again today. We fought again. I don't know what is happening. When I was using the "good" wool, I wasn't having the problem of breakage. I have had to pull off a bunch of twisty fibers that just couldn't hold. Part of me thinks that maybe it has to do the fiber that I am using. Maybe I am spinning it too fine. Maybe it is just not "sticky" enough to be spun fine. It makes me realize that I need to do a little more spinning homework and maybe go up to LYS and actually have someone SHOW me what I am doing wrong. But for now.. I think I am going to go to sleep. I should have gone to bed about, oh an hour and a half ago, but I didn't want to because the sooner I go to bed the sooner work comes and after the day I had today...I don't want to go to work any sooner than I have to.
