I spent some frustrating hours some days ago trying to wind some yarn I bough to comfort myself with. The yarn is eco-cotton from Regnbågen and as soon as I saw it I got a picture in my head of adorable little kids-sweaters with some sort of lacy edge. The first hank was wound in a jiffy, but the next two must have been sent to me as a punishment for some very horrible act of mine (I wonder what that could have been...), they took hours and hours!
They where totally tangled up...
and even had knots in them! Not knots as in two ends of yarn joined together, but totally unexplainable knots!
It´s the first time I buy this yarn and I must say, that I´m not in a hurry to buy it again! I have two more hanks to wind, but I`m not in a hurry to do that either. Hopefully these two monster-hanks where a yarnely example of måndagsexemplar (a bad specimin - possibly manifactured on a Monday, when the producer hasn´t quite recovered from the weekend yet- of a product that is usually quite well made).
One of my orchids is challenging the grayness of the season and has bursted out in a joyful explosion of colour. The orchids are utterly boring when they´re "in between", but they certainly make up for that when the buds open up.
