Believe it or not I have never knit with anything I’ve spun. This is mostly because I had never spun up enough yardage to make anything. A while ago I did manage to spin up some Romney from Spunky Eclectic. While it isn’t the softest (Romney never is), it sure is pretty. The striping reminds me of a Noro and it’s really quite nice to work with.

I was very privileged to be allowed early entry to The Purple Purl. So early that the windows were still covered with paper! My good friend Jennifer and my new friend Miko are the proud entrepreneurs who have put their heart and soul (and in Miko’s case her lungs) into the store. In a scant 6 weeks they transformed a dingy antique store into a vibrant yarn cafe. There is already a sense of community happening and it’s only been open for two days!
I got some wonderful roving today from Copperpot. Oh wow I can’t wait to spin this. But sadly I have to. I must must
must finish my Christmas knitting/crocheting first. I did finish the socks, but next is an afghan and a shawl for presents. I also am …
I think I’m getting the hang of the Woolee Winder. I just finished spinning up this Romney from Spunky Eclectic..
I also bought a new camera today so I couldn’t resist taking about a jillion photos.
