hell is not having a ballwinder

do you know what takes over an hour and nearly all of my (remaining) sanity? untangling an entire skein of colinette's isis. you know...that really furry viscose yarn? yeah. but it's wound...in a nice big ball...and within a week it'll be a scarf.

on another note, brian's scarf is no longer brian's scarf, it's deva's scarf. the isis is now for brian. he is most at home in the caribbean, and the colors of the isis just seem meant to be his. (pictures to come soon)

I'm thinking of using this neat diagonal rib pattern i found, but i'm going to test it out on some cheap yarn first to make sure it works. because after last Christmas's fiasco with frogging my sister's isis scarf 4 times...we're just not going there.

anywho...nothing much else to really say for now, other than that i bought some sock yarn today...i'm going to try to figure out this sock thing on my own i think, and if i need help i'll bug my friend kendra to help. (she's always really busy)

what are YOU working on?
