Thank you!
Thank you all! You are sooo kind and loving!
This week has just been a bad one.
That said, I did manage to get a decent Internet connection yesterday and updated the Spinning Gallery. It includes the washed and blocked Alpaca yarns, plus my largest skein I’ve spun so far that I spun at the end of last week. I’m giving you a sneak peak here, but I’m pretty sure the recipient of this hank of yarn reads this blog so I’ve altered the photo to keep part of it secret…
It’s 300-yds 100% wool 2-ply yarn. I won’t tell you the color (though if you don’t know me in real life you are safe to go look at the 2-ply yarns in the Spinning Gallery to see it unobscured). This is by far my best yarn to date. I *love* it and am so happy to have a nice yardage like that. I like it so much part of me wants to keep it. But, the recipient is much more fond of this color than I am so I know it is going to a loving home and will become some beautiful gloves or mitterns or a hat or a scarf or anything else you can make with 300 yds of sock-weight yarn.
This also marks my first completed holiday gift so far. There are several in progress - grandma’s scarf (I haven’t touched it in over a week), grandpa’s hat has the yarn spun, a felted basket for gifting DH’s cheese and liqueurs (I did the labels for those), felted slippers for my sister and last night we bought some heavy weight cotton canvas in various prints to sew small tote bags for gifting cheese and liqueur to others.
