Oh My God! She Posted About Knitting! Yes, it's true. A post with actual knitting content. A finished object even.  The Pomatomus socks are done, have been worn and are in the laundry basket. A new pair of socks is on the needles and I actually did a little knitting on the Jaywalkers this week. I even dog out a sock that I started 4 years ago in cotton yarn and never got past the heel on. The heel is now done and I'm decreasing down the instep. Estes Park Yesterday was the Estes Park Wool Market. Not as big as the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival but we in the Rockies do okay with our little fiber extravaganza. I picked up a Greensleeves Tom Foolery spindle. I've been wanting one for years and could never find one in woods I liked. Mine is Pink Ivory and Maple. I know, I should have taken a picture. I also bought a Dragon spindle from Tracy Eichem at Wooly Designs as well a basic, lightweight Comet. In the yarn department I was quite restrained. One skein of the popular Opal Petticoat 1290, One skein of laceweight silk/yak, one skein of laceweight silk/angora, both form Skaska Designs. Two skeins of sport weight Limited Edition (wool/silk/tencel) form Brooks Farm Yarns. And I bought an alpaca fleece from an alpaca named Angel whom I totally fell in love with. I couldn't buy her, so I bought her coat. She had not been sheared yet when I met her, that was supposed to happen this mrning. The shepherd (is that what they call alpaca owners?) will call me later this week with the total price and I will send money. Gratuitous Puppy Picture They are now five weeks old and starting to be lot of fun...  Oh Yeah.... The good folks at Blogger finally realized I'm not a spammer and lifted the restrictions off my blog. Someone told me it got flagged because I have so many links. Yeah, I do. I'm thinking it may be time for some Anne at 5:19 PM   | |
