Secret Pal 12 went really well. Received my final box from Lindsey of Tennessee:
Another box of wonderful goodies, with wooden stitch markers and a great pair of yarn ball earrings with lots of great smellies and candies! thank you so much Lindsey!!
Joey and I went to the Alma Park for National Alpaca Farm Day
Had a great time, Meeting Rose and her family and learning a bit about spinning from LauraKathleen.
Handspun alpaca in a lovely color from alpaca at Alma Park, going into a cowl for moi!
Died in Hat Attack II. Took a while almost 4 weeks and 2 assasins. Died in pink and blue with some tasty chocolate and a hank of yarn to soften the death blow.
Finished a Clapotis, wonderfully easily and turned out great. pics up on my Rav projects page. Started a second using some Brooks farm Willow i picked up at Maryland Sheep and Wool this spring and it is coming along nicely. Stitch marker handmade courtsey of Lindsey!!
In a bit of a sock rut lately. Havent been in the mood and made a major booboo and the Raven pair I am working on currently. I think those will rest until I get some of the mojo back for socks.
Putting some time in on my Wolmeise shawl about 75% finished and coming along great as well, just time consuming the purl row back.
Getting ready for some trips. Day trip to Rhinebeck on Saturday with my knit group, mostly window shopping, checking out the spinning wheels(Christmas hint hint check with A for more details hint hint) in reverse order of preference:
