Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to be in a bad mood and NOT start telling bitches off in public? Yeah. Having one of those weeks.
I know people are tired of it but too bad. If you don't like the content, fuck off. I hold back more than I would like as it is here.
Look! More pink yarn!
357 chain plied yards of Louet 80/20 Merino Silk in Soft Rose.
Yay?
Yeah, I don't know. It came from Stitches West a million years ago and it was easy enough to spin. Since I'm very much in the groove with the wheel, spinning it made sense. Now, however, I am trying to stay away from the wheel for a while because I have more hand-spun than I know what do with.
I did sell some to a girlfriend the other day, but that was a fluke. It's hand-spun. Anyone can make it. Look around knitting blogland, babies. LITERALLY anyone can spin. Not as well as I do but whatever.
Anyway, the hat knitting continues and I am hoping my eye will stop twitching soon. I think I know what hand-spun I want to use for the mitts from the other day, and it looks like there may be a little knit along here for that pattern next month. We'll see about that. Mo's Rav group is also planning an along for next month.
Oh and the Knittin'Mittens thing that some of us did in January has been moved to a new group for next month. I'm not moving along because it's an all mittens all the time group and that is so not up my alley. Because of that, I am pondering options while thinking about what I'll be doing next year.
Between eye twitches, of course.
People are so annoying. Hang in there!
Yes yay! It's such pretty pink yarn.
Hope the eye twitches disappear soon.
xoxo

That's some pink!
I can spin. I don't like to spin. I don't want to spin. It's not as easy as you make it look. Just sayin'.

Pretty pink! It's hard to ignore idiots, especially when it seems it is all that you do. Sometimes people need a little push, you know? And sometimes they need a BIG one!

It's so pretty. The twitch just might be a touch of stress, ya think? Hugs, Sweetie!

I was at the mall today so I know just what you mean about people! I will not go back!
Your handspun is gorgeous! I bet it's soft too:)

Sorry about that eye twitch - it's so annoying! Hope it stops soon.
Yes, anyone can spin. But it's the "not as well as you" part that's the kicker. Well, OK, some of that would come with practice. But we have to actually want to do it in the first place.

Best color everrr. And I'd go along with you. I hope that the idiots vanish and the eye settles down as well. xo

Yum, merino silk is luscious to knit with and for it to be pink on top of all that is almost too much. Almost.

You are a mastah

on teh twitch: try magnesium and or potassium added to your diet. That and a stiff drink should do it.
