I have an extremely slow connection today so it will be interesting to see if any of this loads and works. Before the weather even hit us last night the power went out in our area for about 5 hours. It came back on right before we got a little thunderstorm.
ANYWAY…
WHAT THA?
Where did that come from?
I innocently went into my LYS to help with a demonstration day and this followed me home with some gorgeous roving (which I didn’t take a picture of pre-spun). But here is a picture of what I had spun as of 6pm.
I’ve more than doubled that now. I think I’m a little taken with this. While I have played at this a couple of times, this is my first real attempt at spinning.
Ultimately, I want to knit my own sock yarn, but I don’t think this first ”yarn” will be used for anything like that. Maybe a hat or mittens.
In other new…
I promised Sockergirl that I would take a picture of the socks she knitted me with my red clogs…
I wore them during the very brief period of time last week that we had sensible weather. Gorgeous and very comfortable!
I did get my August Socks That Rock kit last week. I love it. Quite possibly my fav colorway/pattern combo yet. Even though most have gotten their kits, I am going to refrain from showing any pictures a little longer.
Finally, another brush with nature. I was innocently knitting in my fav chair which sits with its back to my backyard. I noticed Marmalade staring intently but figured it was a bunny or bird. I turned around to see this standing only 5-ish feet from the house (originally. It moved by the time I found the camera)…
Actually, there where 2 of them…both young bucks. Very startling.
