I was treadling like a madwoman this morning, trying to finish the sock yarn plying. We have an annual boat parade on our lake every July 4th, and it’s become a tradition that a bunch of neighbors and friends show up at 10AM to have Bloody Marys by the gallon and food by the ton. I wanted to get this finished before then. Then this happened.
I’m off to find the kitchen cotton to make a new drive band. Then it will be back on the road for the Tour!
I’m sure you’ll get your drive band fixed, pronto. I just wanted to tell you how much I loved the word play in your post title!
oh noes.. spinning blow out…
Remember when you sew it together that the cotton stretches quite a bunch.
lovely lovely spinning.
Drama! Excitement! Just like the actual Tour!
Your planned day sounds fun, and may even help your cold! It’s just the weather for that sort of thing. You can wear your woolies. Happy Fourth!
This may just be me, but isn’t 10 AM a little early for food?
At least you didn’t run over a dog! (see news article about the real tour)
Hope you are feeling better today…even with the blow-out. And if you aren’t feeling better, all those bloody marys will make you not care how you feel!
Happy Independence Day!
As always, pure delight! Hopefully the flat was repaired and the Tour back on track!
