How much yarn CAN you fit into a trunk
It's almost here. The time to leave for god knows how long. I leave a week from today - oy.
Last week we had a little goodbye party at one of our fave local restaurants, Long Tan. It was a mellow, nice evening with a couple dozen friends. Thanks to all who braved the subway to get to Brooklyn. A big shout out to my pal Beth Leavel (Tony winner for Drowsy Chaperone - can't help it, I'm so proud) who came out to Brooklyn for the FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE . . . girl, ya gotta get out more.
(me & Beth - god I look short!)
Today I've been on the computer doing show paperwork from 9:00 - 1:30 pm. Now it's time for a quick post, and to start to pack the trunk.
I started to set out all the yarn I was going to take, and I realized it would fill my whole damn trunk. Ah, the Stage Manager's hamper is the way to go. Thanks to a giant tote that I got when working at Lincoln Center, I managed to cram 4 or 5 future projects in one place. Thank goodness for 5 tour hampers!
The trunk will hold my beloved TIVO, the next few knitting projects that I need right away, needles, spinning stuff, some knitting books, shoes, coats etc. . .
I finished spinning the roving my pal Francesca brought me back from Rhinebeck. It's gorgeous! I'd love to leave it a single ply, but I don't know how spinners get all the twist out if they don't ply it. Any suggestions all you spindle guys and gals???

to make it untwisty without plying it, you have to "set the twist" in the yarn.
To do this you soak the yarn in warm water for a few minutes and then hang it as a loop somewhere with a weight on the bottom. I usually hang mine on a clothingline with a windex bottle hanging on the bottom. Once it is dry, it will no longer be twisty! Enjoy your single!
