When does a WIP turn into a UFO?

I’m still working on my capelet, but wondering is it a WIP at this point (since I’m working on it) or has it graduated to UFO?

It’s hard to knit with webby fingers

Still wrestling with the hosting situation, there are so many things that I rely on my websites to do that it makes me really appreciative of them when they are down. Finally yarnporn is loaded and I think all the pages are working (I used the link checker, but have to go through with my own eyes just in case.)

I’m spinning mostly boring undyed Falkland wool that I bought last year, I shouldn’t say boring wool, because that’s unfair. It’s incredibly white, soft, low on the itchy scale, and quite lovely. It’s just not the most stimulating spin– although if I have anymore stimulation (as in the website debacle, the OMG-where-are-my-backups-?! stimulation, and the What-effin’-happened-to-my-kitchen-wall?! sort of stimulation) I won’t have a very interesting blog, since I’ll end up sitting in a corner of a quiet padded room, rocking back and forth, touching my forehead compulsively and muttering myself to sleep.

Ugh! Still knitting.

Knitting furiously as it goes actually. Not much progress on the capelet since there’s been so much drama around here, but I have a little spinning finished. I have to go find another web hosting service now.

Stay frosty.
