Blogging Friends are cool
Secret Pal 2 Mia and I have been corresponding for a while now, and during MDSW she mentioned that she got me something special that Stephanie helped her pick. Then I went on vacation and came back and all that time I was wondering if she had sent the package while I was gone, but luckily she waited until I was back.
The waiting was worth it.
Fluffy goodness from Spirit Trail Fiberworks! Eight ounces of 50% Clun Forest Lamb/50% Cormo in pink, green and white! It is really beautiful. Thanks Mia! I seriously have to start thinking about getting a wheel, because this fiber is begging to be spun into something...
Another knitter (and non-blogger; believe me, I've tried to convince her) is Jennifer, with whom I had been discussing the Rebecca 25 Wine Red Top. Remember my knitting the Bellini Tank last year? Kris finished hers recently too. Well, Jennifer sent me pictures of hers, which was done in Patons Katrina in a lovely icy blue (or is it green?) shade. Doesn't it look great on her?
Jennifer is currently working on Pia from Rowan 35. Someone else convince her to start a blog!
I CANNOT get away from this stuff! Everywhere I turn, gorgeous FIBER! Lucky you!
That is a great looking top. And you are one lucky grrl with that fiber to spin! Cara's right...you grrls are everywhere...argh!
Now to see long it takes you to convice Frank that you really need a wheel and that he should really buy it for you.... Wasn't that worth the wait?
Lovely lace down that tank.
Lovely fiber and lucky to meet Cara. :) Your tank looks really pretty.
MJ, your friend made a lovely top! And the fiber is gorgeous!
Lovely new roving, MJ. What a nice gift :) Your friend definitely needs to start a blog--that talent needs to be shared! Beautiful tank and cool tat!
I love the bellini tank! It looks great! I'd love to get my hands on that pattern. Do you know if there are any online stores that carry back issues of Rebecca?
Your friend should definitely consider blogging. She has great taste in knits!
Off to find Rebecca 25...
