I adore trying new things. I don't always enjoy the process or results but the learning? Love it! This means things catch my interest and I can't let it go (in a good way) until I give it a try. Some things stick, some things don't.
Kumihimo has caught my interest once again. I've looked at it and studied it in the past but haven't given it a real try. I blame the sudden re-interest on the weaving forums I have been reading lately. I realized I had everything I need except for a disk or marudai. A few minutes later an inexpensive disk was on order.
It should be fun to learn. I expect I can fit into my "5 minute" vacations, at least for simple braids. I'll decide on ordering books once I've made a few simple braids.
On the spinning front, I am still spinning every morning. I have 1.5 bobbins of the periwinkle merino spun. This wool has been such an unexpected slow spin. Merino usually flies for me, even when shooting for fingering weight. I should be able to finish the second bobbin in the morning, if I wake early enough. Then ply on Saturday morning.
Knitting has been on hold for a bit. My preferred lamp broke. My substitute just was not working well for me, in the early mornings, when my eyes aren't ready for a new day. A new one has arrived so I hope to start working on my socks again, ASAP.
