Day 13: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I've had to take my glasses in for a new lens.  I can't find my back-up glasses.  So I'm wearing sunglasses.  Yup.  All day and night for two to three days.  Or I can go without glasses and see everything but quite blurrily.  Should be interesting.
This has, however, taken the edge off of my ability to do... well... anything.  I'm still working it out.  Luckily, I don't actually need to see to type.  You may get days of drivel because I have yet to figure out how to spend my time.  It's only 5:15 and I'm writing my blog so what does that tell you?  Actually, I had to wait until 9 to finish the blog entry; my computer came down with something and had to have a lie down.
So, I finally got around to taking those photos of the finished stuff from last week.  I did take them without glasses so I'm rather depending on the self-focussing abilities of the camera.  You judge.

A picture of the dried rhubarb/papyrus.  I can't seem to get it to dry fast enough to prevent the centre from starting to rot or mildew.  A problem they didn't have in Ancient Egypt, I expect.  Of course, if you take the weight off to let it dry faster, it curls up and cracks.  Hmm.  Ironing is my next thought.  Got any others?

Two scarves, photographed in the light cube that I bought a while ago.  Another goal for this 365 project is using regularly some of the equipment that I've purchased already.

Anyway, the top scarf is knit with Ondas yarn by Katia with the free giveaway pattern.  A very quick knit (like I could have knit it in an evening except I was using sharpened chopsticks for needles).  The colourways are quite fun.  I keep meaning to take Emily and Daniel to choose colours for their teachers -- not a bad end of year gift, don't you think?

The second scarf is a pattern of my own.  I just was looking to use up some Rowan Summer Tweed.  It was kind of a tough knit.  The cotton/silk blend didn't want to slide much on the needles so the cable rows were no fun.  Still, this might look good and not be too hot during the summer, eh?

Somehow I also managed to get it together enough to clean my one surface late today.  A long while ago, I gave up all media for a week; no reading, tv, radio or computer.  It was amazing how much cleaning got done is sheer boredom.

So this is my side table where all of the 'TV' work gathers to reproduce and party.  It's a struggle to keep this table from cascading crap all over the place.

So this is what it looks like cleaned ... or at least sorted.  Someday I'll figure out how to organize all the little oddments of yarns but then I'll probably die.  This is also apparently where pens go for a good time.  No wonder I couldn't find anything to write with.
