Breezy Band

 A sparkly breezy afternoon spent weaving on the wee inkle.

 

 

 

 

Super Yacht

It was a beautiful day in Morro Bay.  Too nice of a day to see a scary accident.

The Man and I watched a Super Yacht stop mid-channel and swing their stern to the shore. As they drifted closer to the docks their exhaust turned black as they "gave it the gas". We could hear a woman on the back deck yelling because instead of moving forward they were reversing full-speed into the docks. We stood stunned at the spectacle and the crunching we could hear.

A few feet away the people on the boat rental dock quickly made their way to shore.

 

 

The Man notified the Harbor Patrol there was a boat that needed help. Two patrol boats showed up and helped the Super Yacht tie up safely at Tideland Park.

 

  

The Morro Bay City Dock was smashed to smithereens, the crunching sound we heard.

 

 

The situation could have been much worse. No one was injured and no boats were damaged. The yacht's port railing was pushed forward but otherwise it looked fine.

Heel Time

Finished up another pair of socks by knitting the toes and weaving in ends.

 

 

Turning the heel takes a little longer.

 

 

Charkha Spun

I wove a couple of hours today on the Little Gem using the Charkha-spun cotton singles as weft. I was excited to finish up the current bobbin.

 

 

Now I could try something new.*

Last Bossie

This morning I finished spinning the singles on Spindle #11: Ambrosia Maple/Walnut Midi Bossie 28gm.

This afternoon I started Spindle #12: Mystery wood (Ravelry destash) Skinny Maxi 38gm. The Bosworth Maxi Spindles are an allover larger spindle: larger whorl, heavier weight, and a longer shaft. It is a great tool for plying on a spindle.

But. I am still spinning singles. Even though it is a Maxi it seems to be going well - not too heavy, and the singles are not too thick - it is very nice.
