I like it. I think it'll end up being a very nice 3-ply worsted weight yarn. We'll see how many yards I get, but it should become something pretty and fabulous for next fall.Yesterday, I received my long-awaited football bonus. I placed an order for a spot in a spindle and fiber club way back when, after I had gotten my 2-a-day paycheck, as my present to myself. It was originally supposed to arrive mid-October, but the woman who makes the spindles and fiber and what not was a few weeks late delivering her son, and things got a little delayed. Anyway, let me just say that it was worth the wait.
That right there is what came in the package. 5 oz of merino in the colorway "Sunday kind of love" which is, seriously, my colors. Love it. And that spindle,
is a 1.39 oz rosewood and jade spindle. So gorgeous. And it spins really really well. How do I know? Because also included in the box was a ball of pin drafted hand-painted cormo. Luscious is all I can say about the cormo, it's so freaking soft and squishy. I had to spin it up. Couldn't help myself.
Very pretty, I'll probably Navajo ply it tonight. We'll see if I get enough yardage to do a little coffee cup cozy.So that's what I did last night, instead of finished my Wicked socks. I've got a couple inches of stockinette and the toe to do, so that will get done tonight too. Wow, I may even be able to blog over the weekend if I have a finished object to show. Seriously crazy.
Keep your fingers crossed for my volleyball team that plays today in the state semis and tomorrow evening in the finals if they win, and for the football team who is playing tomorrow night (the team we're playing has 8 players committed to D1 schools, and it's been said that they could probably win the State championship in any of the divisions, including Division 1 - so I'm thinking that tomorrow night will be my last football game - just saying.)
