giddyup - spin-cessful!
I have a skein of handspun that has made me squee with delight...ah. I looked at it, held it, talked to it, rocked it - yay - loving this handspun. I might just dress it up and put it in a pram - my baby. 140 usable yards - I'm pretty excited.

I was off today and spun some more and watched the last bits of Band of Brothers. I had a chance to go to Slumdog Millionaire by my lonesome - but I was too lazy. Or maybe I was enjoying the house to myself? I confess, I read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and napped under my heated throw blanket - not a bad day. not one bit.
I also did some secret knitting - my knitting penpal, Christine, and I have a little single sock swap coming up - I'm in love with this sock - I can't wait to share... Meanwhile my Inga Hat and Acer sweater languish. And did you see Kirsten's new mitten pattern? I need another day off.
yay tomorrow btw. historical. wonderful. hopeful.

Your handspun in GORGEOUS!!
Very Pretty! You will be joining us at Susan's Fiber Shop's Spinning Retreat on March 29,30,31 in Columbus, RIGHT?
Love the handspun -- it's very bright and cheerful. I was so pleased to have today off, too. Lots of knitting, reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, listening to NPR, and doing laundry.
BTW, a heated throw?!?! Intriguing! I love Kirsten's new mitten pattern, too, but I need to finish up some big projects first.
That is absolutely yarn love!! So so pretty!!
That handspun is beautiful! Congratulations!
Can't wait for tomorrow. I've got a few of my best buddies coming over to watch the festivities, eat, knit & spin.
Beautiful yarn! I totally understand the desire to treat handspun skeins as babies. My stash closet is turning into quite the nursery.
Sounds like an Awesome day off! Love days like that.
Love your handspun too!
Dude, that is freaking gorgeous!!!
Lovely lovely handspun. :-)
Haha...I have so many things in the knitting queue that now I want another day off, too! I hate when my stupid job gets in the way of my fiber adventures. :)
Gorgeous handspun!
Mmm. Yummy yarn. :D
It's lovely! Given the choice, I'd pick having the home to myself too. I live for those moments!
The new TTL pattern? I cast on for it this morning!!
I can see why you love this handspun, its gorgeous!

Your handspun is just yummy!! Great job! BTW, How did you like the book? I see it come through the library all the time, but not sure what I think about it.

Hi, glad I found your blog. I, too, love to knit and read. Do either of you listen to audiobooks while you knit? I've tried but I still prefer curling up with a good old paper book. I wished I liked the audiobooks as I could then indulge in both hobbies at the same time. What do you prefer?
I occasionally listen to podcasts while I knit or audiobooks while I read but I prefer a good ole paper book too!:)
Oh, that handspun looks delicious! Tuesday was an amazing day. I couldn't help but wipe away a tear as I saw all those people in the mall. What an amazing thing!
Hope - that's what we're all about!
Love it! I can't wait to see what you knit with it.
i am impressed! so impressed!!

Amazing handspun. Really!
I can't wait to see Slumdog. It's looks amazing. And it's getting such good reviews!
