The plague + skeining = trouble

I spent much of the last week and a half feeling utterly miserable with that plague that's been making the rounds. This also means I spent much of that time hopped up on all sorts of cough meds and sinus meds, and god only knows what else. You'd think that with that, I'd know better than to attempt to skein yarn. Especially using an electric skeiner that moves pretty damn fast. But no, I *HAD* to get some skeining done.

Which means this weekend, I spend a good amount of time dealing with this mess.

(The colours of the yarn have been disguised since this is a sock club skein)

Looks like fun doesn't it? That's as far as I got after about an hour. I'm sure there are many more hours to go before it will be done. It's hard not to shove it all in a bag and shove it all under the couch where it can be forgotten until some day far in the future it surfaces due to furniture being moved around. But.. it's such a lovely colourway that I really do want to knit it up!

Send courage!

I feel your pain! I'm sure you've sorted it out by now. This is the sort of thing I would just step over for weeks...
