I’m not sure what it says about me that I continue to be amused by this.  It’s a tube.  A very slightly tapered tube.  But amused I am.

And from what I can tell, one or two of you share my proclivity.  Another day or two and I’ll be done.  Though I am playing yarn chicken (I have a second skein, but things will feel more tidy if this fits into one), which at least lends a bit of dramatic tension to the proceedings.
