One thing I did get some work done on while entertaining guests was my spindle. This is tussah silk, dyed blue by someone in my spinning guild. I think of it as denim blue - it has that multitudes of blues one finds in blue jeans. I have three spindlefuls waiting for plying, and about that much more to spin. I did finish the fourth bobbinful of pale beast while we watched the new Pink Panther movie. I don't think of myself as a Steve Allen fan, but I have enjoyed several of his movies. This was one of them.
