Have you ever found yourself in one of those awful freeway messes, usually near a city, that involve clover leaves, ramps, and other confusing routes? When I was a kid, we called sections like that "spaghetti junction" (apparently, we weren't the only ones!). My parents may have been referring to one particular piece of freeway, I don't know, but it stuck in my head that when a part of the road, viewed from above, could pass as a pile of spaghetti...it must be confusing to drive.
Stay with me now as we segue to knitting. As you'll recall, I mentioned in my "Back to Nature" post that some of the hanks needed to be redone. The dyeing, rinsing, spinning process got some of them a little tangly. I know from experience that trying to wind a tangly hank will only result in frustration - and possibly tears. So today my project (aside from hemming Barney) is to re-hank at least four of the seven colors...
At this point I was VERY glad that each hank is only half of a Cascade 220 (meaning, at least I'm only working with 110 yards per hank).

There is a section of Seattle called Tangletown and for good reason!
p.s. thanks for your comment on my blog!

Yes, I have tried to wind my way through Tangletown to get to my hair gal's new salon. It's...intriguing city planning. :-)
