Seems as though I’m not able to blog more than every 7 days at this point.. and I’m not even doing anything exciting! I’ve been seeing “Eye Candy Friday” a lot lately on blogs that I read and thought… hmmm.. what a great excuse to post things that aren’t WIP’s! I’ve had a bunch of stuff come in the mail recently through great deals at Etsy.com and winning contests but I haven’t gotten to photograph or post about any of it.
This wonderful roving (merino on the left, Targhee/ Rambouillet mix on the right) was purchased from The Arts at Eagles Find Etsy shop. I’m already spinning up the wool on the right for some socks even though I’m not sure how the blend will wear.. I figure that if they start to felt too badly I will throw them in the washer and turn them into slippers for the Munchkin. The “forest” (both are way prettier in person than in photos) roving will hopefully end up with enough yardage for a hat for my husband.
I’m off to pack for the weekend.. we’re heading to Athens, GA for Airsoft games for the husband and some knitting & spinning with a friend for me. Husband’s friend offered us space to ‘crash’ in their empty guest room (why do I feel like I’m in junior high at a sleep over??) so part of my weekend will involve sleeping on the floor and moving of furniture. Send happy thoughts for my poor lower back. Munchkin will be staying the night with my mother-in-law and I’m sure they’ll have a great time.
By the way.. is it just me or does anyone else try to make words out of their “word verification” anti-spam-mumbo-jumbo on blogs? While I was writing this post I commented on two blogs and was sitting here trying to figure out what that random mish mosh of letters sounded like as a word.
** also.. congratulations to Pixie and family on the cutest finished object ever! **
