All over but the shoutin'

Well, Christmas has come and gone....and I seem to be no worse for the wear, lol.

I did finish Bobby's Prairie Tunic and got her to model it for me before I blocked it, so forgive the smashed appearance of the little thing!

Here is the front with it's two little lace patterns and the back with one little lace pattern. I must admit that the "straps" were way too easy, it was twisted cord and I got Greg to help me (bless his heart!! what a guy!). It seemed like cheating, but it turned out so awesome. I love it and will do it again any chance I get!!


I have the best models in the world!

















I have been pretty sick for the last 2 or 3 days and I have missed a few things I had planned for a while, I was bummed about that, but on the high side of it all, I was able to spin two bobbins of the birthday fiber from Copper Moose and ply 3 bobbins full. Oh man, I can not wait to knit this stuff up!! It spins like melted butter in my hands and I love the flashes of color.
Here is how much I have left of the 3# bump that Ashley got me for my birthday, I think it is about 1 # now. Here are my accomplishments: 4 skeins of unwashed fiber, begging for the twist to be set. I thought I had the pattern picked out for my first ever sweater for me, but now I am rethinking it. I think I want to do a Norwegian pullover...hmmm, decisions, decisions. But, the good thing about spinning is that you have ample time to think and plan while you spin. Now, if I could just figure out how to read all the books that I can't find on CD while I spin, that would be just dandy!!
I am also thinking over my New Years Resolutions.....so, I must go now, my brain is on overload!
