Poly-fill Variety

   I think it's interesting that I've not managed to get two bags of Poly-fil with the same texture twice.  The bag I had open for many years felt a bit cheap and scratchy.  The one I finished before I open the 5lb box felt smoother, but otherwise about the same.  The box filling felt very soft, smooth, and springy.  I recently got another bag for free because of Bev and an estate sale.  It feels very soft and dense, like a hearty cotton candy.  I thought it was fitting to switch over to the bag based on the free Poly-Pus pattern on the back.  I have another bag that I got that feels so soft and luxurious that I almost don't want to use it, I just want to pet it and squish it.

Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Arctic - Red Heart Super Saver in Peruvian Print

The Peruvian Print yarn was interesting to work with.  There was a really pretty deep teal that only happened once in the whole skein.

  I took a small break from working on octopi to finish some more Worry Worms.  I wasn't sure what projects I wanted to bring on a road trip, so I wanted to travel with an empty stitch holder.  I use one of the really long stitch holders to hold all the worms.  I'm pretty sure I would misplace some if I didn't keep them all together until I can get a picture of them.

  We offered to help some at the Maysville shows that our friend Harlee puts on.  Repo the Genetic Opera was added on Friday this year along with the two Rocky Horror shows on Saturday.  Most of the people helping with the show stayed at the French Quarter Inn.  It's really fancy and has nice tubs to soak in.  We weren't sure about noise and Miss Spud, both noise she could hear and noise she would make during the night.  We stayed at the Lee House Inn.  The rooms are huge and so nice.  When we were heading up to the theatre we saw a stage getting set up and saw them breaking it down when we were done.  We missed the live music, but we saw a few people hanging around still, so they hopefully got a good turn out.

  She did pretty well over the shows we stayed for.  She didn't want to really eat her dinner until we were watching Repo.  She was really squirmy until I put her in her wagon to eat her banana and some snacks.  We only stayed for the first showing of Rocky and she got really grumpy near the end, but it was past her bedtime, so it's understandable.
