LOVE THIS! 

Still waiting for kiwi to find its way home :)  But am renting from Yarnivore in the meantime.  Spun this into this…

and am so happy with it…have about 257 yds…and wondering what to knit with it…I’m so excited! Fiber from FlawfulFibers

Bought this huge amount of mill end fibers at Yarnivoire after  my spinning class and this was my big practice project.  I normally wouldn’t have chosen the colors but hey, it will be great with blue jeans.  I fell in love with the pattern and it was so fun to just go “spin” some more yarn when needed

Hiding in the computer room from the kids…oh to wake up with so much energy…they have two cousins over and they wake up so happy and ready to play and so loud …  ugh…  like I said…looking to  hide and have my ipod plugged into my ears listening to Sheknits podcast.  Cooked pancakes and turkey bacon for breakfast and ran!  Hoping to knit and finish my handspun shawl…I really love using some of my first handspun yarn…it is lumpy bumpy but it looks soooo good in this shawl, I can not wait to block it! 

Saw the American girl Kit Kittredge movie yesterday with the kids…GO see it while you can, it is awesome…loved it!

going to hang out on the net for a bit , knit and take the kids swimming…
