HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve, ringing in 2010 at our house was eventful in my eyes but I am sure uneventful in many others. Farrah and Adam are here at our house for a three night stay and we spent the evening watching funny movies (Anchorman and The Hangover) while eating carry out Mooses Tooth. All of this was being done as well as spinning on the Louet and knitting on our New Years sweater projects. Eventful but uneventful if you know what I mean. Clint was in bed before the new year hit and Lola (our Shih Tzu) was horribly frightened by all of the fireworks ringing in the New Year over the course of 3 hours. It was fun, it was done and now it is 2010. To celebrate the holiday I did some fiber shopping. My wallet is not so happy this morning but I am VERY excited to see these new finds and work with them to make beautiful yarn. What do you think of my choices...

  4. Blue Faced Leicester. I have heard it is a dream to spin with and creates a beautiful finished product. This lady is also having the fiber pin drafted at the mill so that the drafting is consistent for me. Split three ways and away you go with the spinning. I will let you know what I think of it after I get it!
