Purple Mist Arrives

At last, my slubby purple mist wool on order has arrived.  I went up to Guyra after school today to collect it.  The pattern calls for a long tail cast on, which I've not tried before.  Time to increase my repertoire of cast-on methods!  The first step will be to wind the skeins into balls.  Hopefully I'll get the cast on and a few foundation rows done tonight.

Today has been overcast all day, with only a few spits of rain.  The cloud rolled in overnight, keeping the temperature from dropping much.  I would like it to rain  - I'm having to water the plants daily.  This afternoon's forecast thunderstorm appears to now be expected in the morning.  So here comes another warm night *sigh*.
