Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

What a fabulous day! I went to the mailbox today and inside was my little package from Village Spinning and Weaving with the repair part (shown at left) for Louie ! These folks were FAST! I ordered it on Monday.....they're located in California....and it's here already! (Keep in mind that we've had a TERRIBLE ice storm here on the East Coast between the time that I ordered and now....and my order STILL got here quickly!) I must say that I'm very impressed with the fast, accurate service that I received - I'll definitely "shop" there again!

Remember the "Creamsavers" yarn from my previous post? The dyed locks at the left were what I used for the pink and the purple. I tried to keep the basic colors in tact so they'd be either mostly pink or mostly purple when I selected the locks, then I picked out the VM, flicked the locks open (if needed) and carded them in preparation for spinning. I just love the "Wild Orchid" colorway!

AND.....I finished my sister's Alpaca bed socks! Wahoo! I even got them mailed off this morning! No more cold feet for my sis! Here's what they look like - both "off the foot" and "on the foot". Sorry about the "odd" angle....it's hard to both "model" and "photograph" - as many of you know first hand!










I even found some time to work on my Swallowtail shawl! I've now completed 7 rounds of the Budding Lace 2 part of the pattern! It's really starting to shape up....and I've almost finished my first ball of the Baby Silk yarn!

Now it's off to repair Louie so I can finish my skein for Spin-to-Knit!
