I texted our Joan the word "LIZARD!!!" yesterday afternoon. If you know me or have read me for a while, you can sort of figure out what that means. Clearly, I had an encounter with something from the lizard family and felt the need to share this news.
"Picture or it didn't happen" was the reply I received.
I called out a certain Son of Joan because I knew I would only get that reply from our Sairy or a 15 year old boy... and I was pretty sure our Sairy was not visiting Joan yesterday. Someone would have mentioned it before the LIZARD thingy happened... right?
I was right and picked the right kid, who did not question how his Crazy Aunt Cookie knew it was him, btw. I gather, he and his brother were too busy pondering what LIZARD could be code for (!!!) to give me any thought. Story of my life...
Moving on to something that might in some tiny way fit into a spinning/knitting blog...
That is 8 oz of Purple People Eater colored Targhee dyed by our Jessica and spun by me.
2589 yards of 2 ply yarn.
I RAWK!
That is all.
So, DO you have a lizard picture?? ;)
You do rock!! That's a lot of yarn. Very pretty yarn BTW!

I love it when you remember you rock. Sorry about your lizard. I tried to help, really I did, but my deviant nature took over.

I give up

Daaaang. I need to learn how to spin so I can make myself some pretty yarn like that. So awesome!!!

How big was the lizard???

Pardon my French, but holy shit!

That's like *THREE MILES* of yarn you had to spin to get 2ply. It's official. You are a freak. A spinning freak. Maybe Lizard is code for Spinning Freak! /runs

We saw a lizard photo, but there was no object for scale. Next time poke the lizard (gently) with a ruler says Griffin.
Loves the yarn!
Posted by: joan | Friday, April 22, 2011 at 06:19 PM
Whoa! You so definitely RAWK! :D I'm not worthy of even commenting here. ;D Beautiful, Cookie!

Lovely yarn.

There are spiders in the wild with thicker thread than that! Nice job!
Posted by: Kelly | Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 02:30 PM
Where is the lizard? The yarn is awesome and you do rock but you led off with a lizard!!
Posted by: Bullwinkle | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 02:18 AM
Wow, that yarn is all kinds of gorgeous! And the yardage?! Geez, girl!
Posted by: Becky | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 04:59 AM
Lizard!
Scrumptious yarn!
You really do RAWK!
Posted by: gayle | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 05:40 AM
Pretty!
Posted by: Ruth | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 07:02 AM
We don't have spring yet, but we also don't have many reasons to scream out "LIZARD" and I'm ok with that.
That is some awesomely wonderful yarn with amazing yardage. Just wow.
Posted by: Natalie | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 05:29 PM
That is all!! is an understatement love the yarn and the color is amazing, When I choose yarn I tend to avoid pastels and I am now making a note in my yarn shopping list to look at pastels I do forget since not always my first choice they are a great option so now I am actively going to look for a project and yarn in pastel. On another note I checked the weather and after the rain we are expecting tomorrow looks like the warm spring weather will return. Hope your coming week improves from what you have been dealing with. Talk again soon Traci
Posted by: Traci | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 06:29 PM
Rawk on with your bad self, Cookie :)
That is some fine looking handspun.
I'm stuck in Utah. It might snow tomorrow. Help?
Posted by: Big Alice | Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 07:06 PM
What gorgeous yarn! You are indeed a spinner who rawks!
Posted by: Mary Lou | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 07:42 AM
bahaha
so where are the pics of this "lizard"? Inquiring minds need to know!
gorgeous yarn btw :)
Posted by: sairy | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 07:48 AM
You definitely RAWK. Where is the lizard pic? Inquiring minds want to know.
Posted by: Kym | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 08:37 AM
Indeed, you do!!
Posted by: Elaine | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 10:14 AM
That yarn is FABULOUS! So are you. Oh, and by the way, I have gotten a similar response from a 23 year old boy too. I think it is the boy part rather than the age part...just sayin'
Posted by: Doris | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 11:59 AM
I prefer my lizards euphemistic.
Pretty purple yarn! That would go really well with the sterling roses in the front yard that - thankfully, survived the relocation.
Oh, it's stupid Typepad's fault about all those spammers? Freaking annoying. Now that I can think something other than tax........I'll have to go b**** about that.
Hai!
Posted by: Carrie#K | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 01:25 PM
Where's the lizard picture? Or were you wanting to borrow one of the million pictures I've taken of the ones Andy brings home?
Your spinning skillz make me want to hate you.
Posted by: April | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 01:52 PM
I am not worthy...LOL
If I practice a lot, maybe I can be like you??
Terrific hand spun Cookie..
Posted by: Val | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 04:22 PM
Darling,
That's beyond RAWKing. That's totally awesome and amazing.
You are such a spinning fiberesta
Posted by: Melissa | Monday, April 25, 2011 at 06:36 PM
Very pretty. Yes, you RAWK.
Posted by: Denise | Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 10:56 PM
Holy bob that's a lot of yarn!! Aren't you one of the ones that didn't want to get into spinning??? ;-) Gorgeous work my friend!
Posted by: Jessica | Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 09:08 AM
