Hooray, It's Friday!

Once more, I'm not quite sure whether to rejoice - hooray, the week is over, the weekend is waiting - or to panic - the week is over, and why is there still so much work left at the end of the week's work time?

There's been spinning, and sending off goods from the shop, and cat-cuddling (wait, that's not work, though quite important too) and planning for future possible courses, and some (very little) weaving. More spinning is among the things on top of the list, but there is definite progress on that front. Which is good!

I'm also, due to a comment from Alex Makin on her Instagram, pondering the quirk of preferring one special tool over another. In her case, her favourite needle had to be replaced by another one which did not work as well. I know that effect very well - and now I'm trying to find out which of my tools has this effect the most. I know I mislaid one of my knives a while ago, and it was very uncomfortable to use a different one for the carving task I had to do. I also try different needles for sewing until I find the one that suits the fabric and stitches best at a given time, and I have a few favourite needles that get used most. Then there's some things that I feel are interchangeable, like my spindle sticks - no faves there.

For now, though, it's time to pack some things and go visit my gran, who is celebrating her birthday this weekend... her 100th birthday. Isn't that amazing?
