Honestly. This is getting stupid.

Third night of raging insomnia. And by that I mean that the past two “nights” have seen me getting to sleep at noon or later. Mix this with a generous dash of having plans with other people (let’s say, the in-laws), and it’s not a happy thing at all.

Tonight was fun, though. Spent the evening with Katie and Adam for dinner, small talk, and yarn untangling. And I volunteered for the untangling. Heh.

It started with Katie posting a plea to the LiveJournal Knitting communtity. It seems she received a hank of lovely hand-painted yarn as a Christmas gift. However, with no swift, it quickly became unmanageable, even with a very patient husband who was willing to sit and hold yarn. I (laugh with me now) posted a reply telling her I’d come over with my swift and winder, and we’d quickly show the yarn who was boss.

As a note - I have a swift and winder because Mike is nowhere near as patient as Adam. Which is why he bought the swift. We knew there was no chance of him sitting quietly, holding yarn. You’d have more luck with a small child.

So, Mike and I, after getting over whatever Death Flu we had, made plans for tonight. Excellent dinner, lots of fun. Then Katie pulled out the yarn.

Regretfully, I didn’t get a picture then. After spending half an hour looking for an end, we decided to cut. And spent two or so hours working from the cut end. So, what do I have now?

Click for the full horror.

Yeah. That’s my desk. It was decided that I’d take it home to work on, as everyone but me had to work in the morning. If I get this finished, I reserve the right to call it a Finished Object.

Becky, where are you when I need you?
