daily chum

Today when I woke up, turned on the computer and logged into all the different sites I always log on to.  I finally opened my Plurk window and what did I see??  Wendy had posted that her list of knitters gifts were featured on Lime n' Violets Daily chum and Tempted yarns made the list.  Seriously, how cool is that!!!!   In fact what made it even better was that my buddy and partner in crime occasionally, Keri from 3am Enchantments also made Wendy's list.   Some of you may remember that early this spring I had Weeones make stitch-markers for several of my buddies, she also made the list.  In fact I have something from everyone on the list (bought the only copy of Casting Spells in Bartlesville) except Celtic Swan Forge and Splityarn.  Guess I will have to do something about that. LOL

It was amazing to be listed by such an accomplished and well loved knitter and then to be in such wonderful company and with one of my favorite indie dyers The Sanguine Gryphon.  Yes, I buy from other dyers, I love indie yarns, I love seeing what others do and love getting to meet them, I can be such a fangirl.

This is some of the fiber that my "partner in crime" Keri and I dyed the first time she came to visit.  Well she has now spun it all up and sent me a picture this morning. 

Amazing how different it looks huh?  I am always amazed at how different a roving and a finished yarn can look.

Next time I will share some of my spinning I did with the fiber I am currently dying for The Loopy Ewe.  I will say that I love love love the finished yarn so much that after looking for over a year for the perfect yarn to knit my very first clapotis with, I think my search is over.  I know I am way behind the times but I have been looking for just the right yarn for it.
