The Pinkness of it all

My apologies for the longer silences here at Yummy Yarn. I've been preoccupied and sometimes it's an effort to think of something to write about. But. The blog must be fed and groomed once a week, so here's this week's post.

I've been spinning. Yummy Pink (and green, and white) Clun/Cormo mix that I've drafted in strips or spun from the fold, for random variegation. I've so far gotten a fairly consistent single, referring to my sample quite often. I think I've got enough fiber to fill 2 more bobbins. The fiber is so soft and springy, unbelievably so. I need more of this stuff!

The yarn order included 2 balls (or should I call them 2 donut thingies) of Pink superwash yarn for a baby sweater, which I knit up in two days. More on that later. Oh yeah, I went to the library. More books! Thanks for reminding me about Philippa Gregory, Rose!

Blogworthy: Results of the May 1st reboot are up. In case you're interested. It's all Flash work. I'm of two minds regarding Flash; perhaps it's because I'm old school and learned the finer points and subtleties of print, which I see is sometimes lacking in web. On the other hand, some of it's cool, and not Flash for the sake of being Flash, but actually lends itself to the concept. Anyway, I've found a really great site I'll share later on (I gotta keep it to myself first!).
