Yes, I am shallow
...but I have sheep. Where are the rest of them I wonder? Probably in the barn avoiding the rain. It is raining, we need rain and rumor has it that we're in for a drought.
Yes, I watch American Idol. I'm bummed. Chris was voted off. I like Elliott but I doubt he is mainstream enough to win. Just "idol" ramblings.
I watch Grey's Anatomy too. So sue me. Quite a season finale. I'd go into the sexual tension thing but I'm too lazy. Nor will I discuss Izzy and Denny.
I have oodles of bits and pieces that I've accumulated over the years. I have no idea what this will be. Perhaps a scarf. I'm simply using up odd lots. I like to at least *look* busy.
I bought 40#s of loopers. Lesson learned: ask about the fiber content. It is a mixed batch which I sorted through. The house looked like a lint factory. Lesson #2: throw loopers in the dryer, stick around and empty out the filter every 2 minutes. There is a fair amount of cotton loopers but I fear the rest are of some synthetic mixture. I'll need to order some disperse dye so I can get some color goin' on.
The rug loom is ready but I'm not. I need to order more rug warp. I have some 8/4 but I don't want to run short. I have a fair amount of rug wool but I think I'll practice on cotton first. I've read over 9,000 messages/posts on Rug Talk. Even took notes. Actually a lot of cut 'n paste. I really wish they'd talk more about wool rugs. Wool rugs on a 2 shaft loom. I don't seem to post to lists often any longer. I fear being mentioned on KnitFlame. Not really, but the thought has crossed my mind.
I think I'll end these ramblings on this rainy Tuesday.

Lovely sheep shot!
It is said you should face your fears: shall I post a flame?, then you'd be done with it.
I *have* wanted to flame someone (not you) but I just rant to myself. Not very satisfying.
Oh my! If you do "flame" me I shall start a rumor that you watch American Idol AND the occasional soap opera. In short, I am not yet ready to face my fears.
Too tired to flame anyone, but I will admit to watching Grey's Anatomy, too!
I would practice on cotton warp too. Maybe one day I'll actually make another rug.
Nice sheep picture! Good story (much earlier) about dyeing day for your pink curtains. Nasty pesky people.
When I have bits and pieces of left over beautiful yarns, I put on a cotton warp and make purses and bags.
