Yarn & A Thank You

That's 1578 yards of 3-ply BFL from 1.5 pounds of fiber from the CupcakeFiberCo.  As you may or may not recall, our Joan, who knows about the plot against her, btw, sent me beautiful batts to spin into a cardis worth of yarn. 

The photo does not do the yarn justice.  However, as Joan pointed out to me the other day, I make good yarn and take not good photos.  Oddly, I'm okay with that.

Although, I will say this...

It doesn't look brown!

Yeah, one day, we'll talk about brown fiber, but it won't be today.

Today finds me still crazy busy.  Alternating between trying to catch up and really trying to stay on top of things while pretending I don't need to call the mortgage company, don't DESPERATELY need a haircut and that there's nothing wrong with not sleeping, or eating, or wanting to smack just about everyone....

Which reminds me...

I know I've been sucking with the blog thing (& replying to comments) lately.  Believe me, I know.  I'm crazy busy with a life I never planned for or wanted and I just wanted to thank everyone for being so lovely and understanding.  I truly appreciate everyone for being supportive, kind and lovely.  Mostly, though, for not nagging me, trying to "tease" me into posting or trying to guilt me into sharing more than I can/should or have time to.

My slightly famous temper is living at the surface these days, and I'm dreading the day someone pushes me too far because I will not hold back.  Btw, yes, y'all should be taking bets on this. 

Anyway, that's my news.  I'm sorry that my G+ people have seen that photo before before I just don't have time to try to get something better.  Did I mention needing a haircut?  Yeah.

I'll be back when I'm back.

Happy Wednesday, people!

That yarn is fabulous and who cares if the photos aren't great so long as the yarn is?? I haven't tried spinning enough for a sweater yet because I'm afraid I won't be consistent enough. Kudos to you for this!

[kellys]

Although I do enjoy your posts, I only blog like once every 3 months so can I complain? Sadly, no.
:D

Yet again, beautiful yarn!
Joan knows?!?!? Shoot.
Post whenever it fits your schedule. I'll be hanging around watching for it.
I've found that making an appointment is a good way to make sure of getting a haircut. (Sorry...I just couldn't resist.) :D

[Anne]

Hey! I need a haircut, too! What a coincidence! But seriously, I hope the crazy gets a leetle less crazy for you. And for me. That would be good for both of us.

[margene]

Lucky me to take a peek in just as you posted. Grrl, I believe August may be the worst month for crazies ever! Seriously, I'm not sure I can handle much more. I'm sending extra good vibes with hugs to you because of your most excellent plot against Joan.

[Yarndude]

I promise I said nothing. Hope your crazies take a chill pill soon! I'm amazed you were able to spin that much yarn so quickly. Amazed, but not surprised.

[Karen]

Your yarn is beautiful. It will make a stunning cardigan.
Please take photos when you do explode:)

Inbox always open, although you know I suck at replying.

[Rachel]

Oy! hang on in there girl and let me know if I can help in any way please :)

The yarn is most beautiful as always and who told her?!?
I hope it is not that post man,,,, (nah,,, it is not in her corner of that island!)

[Cheryl S.]

Take all the time you can, though I know it won't be as much as you should, or be nearly enough.

[Carrie#K]

Definitely not brown yarn. Not that we're talking about brown fiber.

Post when you want! And piffle to any knudging. Sheesh. It's hard enough, this should be an outlet to turn to, not another freakin' chore.

(I spent most of last week Not Pounding People Into the Ground Like Tent Pegs. It was a testament to my good nature and self control.)

[Denise]

Beautiful yarn as always. I would rather have good yarn and a not so good picture, than the reverse.

I can really relate to finding myself in the life I never planned for or wanted. Let's hope things get better for the both of us.

I'm trying to keep myself from having to head out to the desert with big black trash bags.

[Natalie]

Was it my fault that Joan knows? Well, whatever. The yarn is lovely, as usual.

[Janet]

We're patiently waiting for when the time is right for you to return to us. No pressure :)

[Ruth]

Do what you need to do.

And spoil yourself a bit.

[Kelly]

Frankly, some people need a good smack of common sense sometimes. I prefer to think of it as a public service. Or evolution in action. It makes me wonder how some people have managed to survive so long, without bring eaten by bears or falling out a window, etc. How has nature not taken care of them yet? I strongly feel that was this a time earlier in history, the problems they pose simply wouldn't have existed.

[CindyCindy]

Please, please, try to remember to breath, too. The yarn is beautiful and the cardi will be beautifuller. Hugshugshugs.

[gayle]

You're posting more often than I am, sweetie, so I certainly won't criticize. I know how life can get crazy busy. Or just crazy...
Lovely yarn!

[Another Joan]

Here's the thing: if you had had the handling of those hooligans in the UK in their formative years, there would have been no rioting. And the home fibre creation business there might still be thriving if they all had to crank out the yarn to your specs. Temper is a good and useful thing. Five bucks says Saturday at 4:03 pm. Or should it be going into your bail fund??

we all have or issues. Besides, we also have Angie if we REALLY need to find you

[Clumsy Knitter]

No apologies are necessary for not posting as frequently. I'd rather have a "voluntary" post than an "obligation" post any day.

Hope things settle down for you soon.

[Kitten]

I DEMAND THAT YOU POST DAILY WITH ALL YOUR DEEPEST SECRETS. /death wish

[Val]

Great spinning..I have a sweater kit here that I need to start on...but not just yet.

August seems to be a crazy, smack down angry sort of month for a lot of people. Me included, hopefully it will pass soon.

What does Joan know? Maybe she just thinks that she knows. Was there a plot?

[Trish]

I'm getting mine cut today. Should I have them do yours while I'm there??

It's much better to make good yarn with not great photos than the alternative!

[elizabeth]

I love that yarn! Hope things get better soon. *hugs*

[Nora]

It would be hard for her not to know given the state of her dining room table.

Don't fret. I hardly even look at my own email anymore. Sometimes it's all just too much.

xoxo

[Angie]

Love the yarn; it's beautiful.

I suppose Joan was getting clues. :D

Hugs!!! I hope all goes as well as possible.

[Sarah]

It is such beautiful yarn, Cookie, and it will become a lovely cardi.

Keeping good thoughts for you and that all you need makes it way to you to help you.

[marianne]

Brown? snort. more like Beautiful Green.
When you can, when you want. I hope the crazy just eases the fuck off. xoxox
ps(I absolutely hates it when people try to tease a post out of me)
