Another hot day here, 30°C when we went out to get my parents-in-law’s birthday present this afternoon. The longest stage of this year’s Tour for the cyclists, ending with the Giant of Provence, the Mont Ventoux. A very exciting day of cycling-watching, amazingly well done to Chris Froome! How they can accelerate when they are already riding up a hill like that is just astonishing!
Today I did my next plying experiment. This one is a 2ply. As expected it is more variable than the 3ply, since the more plies you have, then statistically speaking it is less likely that all of their thick bits will coincide.
I think it is still an OK yarn though, although I personally prefer the 3ply.
Thank you to Sally for the suggestion to wait til the yarn was dry before panicking about the lack of elasticity. One of the advantages of the ridiculously hot weather is that my yarn from yesterday is quite well on its way to being dry, and is definitely feeling more elastic, whew!
Today’s coin is an old French 1 Franc, for Bastille day. Today would also have been my grandmother’s 100th birthday, except that she died on Christmas Day aged 99 and 5 months. To get that close to 100 is still pretty impressive.
