Twenty questions.....well not quite!

By -

So this roving was in the swap box when it arrived at my house. I LOVE the colorway....so I've never spun. I always planned to learn......but later. So plans change right?? Who amongst you spins??? Who put this gorgeous roving in the box? Is spinning difficult???




On to sock yarn. Oh this is simply delicious sock yarn. I love the colorway.. .mine all mine
Who put this in the box? You gave me a thrill! Yippee I will make socks with this yarn. I will probably make a faux cable for the sock body.....Who who who among You ....put it in there?


Finally this is my new lunch bag/box. I remember having a Disney lunch box with Goofy on it
riding a school bus. This one is from Lynne's etsy shop that I blogged about a few posts ago.I love the colors. So what is for lunch by you today?

I was so tempted to take the roving when the box was at my house. The box also had a "how to spin" book and a spindle. I resisted the temptation to remove all three items, but with great reluctance.

that's so funny because I put the roving IN the box because of the book and spindle!

Spinning is great - if you want another addiction that is!! It's quite easy to start on a drop spindle, but once you head down that road..... you'll want a wheel. I say - go for it!

I'm nowhere near happy with my own drop spindle skills, or lack of, but I hear it's actually not hard at all. Can't wait to see!!

I admit, I took the book and the spindle, but not the roving. I already have some roving, and I didn't want to add to the roving stash until I tried what I had. I had a feeling someone else would love to have the roving RIGHT NOW!

I put in the sock yarn, and I'm happy that you like it! I wasn't brave enough to take out the roving, I'm afraid that if I ever start spinning that will be the next addiction.

Seems you have something to try, my friend. Spinning is addictive, and relaxing. I have a wheel and drop spindles. Have to get the wheel down soon, but for that i have to wait at least until Wietse goes to school. He tends to put his hand in the spinning wheel and that hurts. But the spindle... it is an art to try to go as thin as possible, without breaking the thread. I have bison on one of my spindles - it is fun!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
