I got to light hang at a bright and early 7 a.m. this morning (Sunday) after waking up at the truly early hour of 4:30 a.m. I didn't waste any time, and shutting the door to block some of the noise, I finished weaving scarf #7. No pictures, per normal, because I am lazy and running close to last legs (which explains why I am up now). I just needed to start and finish the scarf for Strephon, who is only a fairy down to the waist, and collect the scarves from a couple of other members of the cast who saved me from needing to knit or weave 10 scarves in about a month.
I'm mostly done. I have some fringe and finishing and weaving in of ends on both the knitted and woven scarves and then a quick dunk and a dry. I'd love to have time for a full on blocking, but the time is short till opening night. Tomorrow is a full run through, Tuesday is cue-to-cue and then it is dress rehearsals until we're done. No time for real blocking. And barely time to knit the one scarf that is about half way done that will be coming back to me. I feel like a busy bee that has taken one of the power-ups and now I'm running around at twice my normal speed.
Light hang was mostly uneventful. I'm a bit uncomfortable with heights, so I pushed the scaffolding around and climbed up the side to fetch various cables for the person using the Genie (only older than any of those models). There were 3-4 people at the top of the scaffolding, one in Genie and one person at the top of a very tall ladder all hanging lights from the 21 ft tall ceilings. I think pushing the scaffolding was much safer.
I left sometime after 4 p.m., got some food and drink, and headed home for the last scarf and finished it in the wee hours! Or about 20 minutes ago.
And now I'm going to bed. It was a very eventful day.
