Boast
I'm sorry, I have to. I have spun the best yarn of my very small "career" shall we say? I am very proud.
Yeah yeah, there are a couple of "fat" spots, but I really think I am getting the hang of this now! I love this skein! I even smell it. EEEWWWWW!!!!! I hung it out to dry! So it smells nice too!!! Come on people! You know you smell yarn.
Grumperina does.
Here is Suki with it. This is really the color too. I have decided it is more of a mustardy color than the color of breast fed baby poo. Sorry for the Suki nipple shot. She is not bashful.
I think I woke her from one of her many naps. Here is the artsy shot. It is with my sweater that will take me a year and a day to finish
Thank you for all your comments on my tiresome sock. I haven't ripped it yet. I think I will put it aside for a while (until I need the needles)
I took yesterday off from work and spent the day with my son. He had the whole week before off from school and they had to give them Monday off too (jeesh) We went to see the movie The Benchwarmers. Little Geek loved it, well what 8 year old boy wouldn't? It was about baseball, burps, farts, boogers and vomit. There you have it.

The color is a nice springtime Easter shade. Good job! Is that the kind of movie I have to look forward to?

WOW! That looks fabulous! And I love the shade!
I tried to ply over the weekend..what a disaster! For now I'm spining lots of singles...lots and lots of singles!
And an extra day off school? Mine went back yesterday morning, and let me tell you...I just about did a jig when they stepped on the bus. Summer break=fun outside. Spring break, when its still cold and dreary=mama pulling her hair out.

Cool color yarn! Looks great on Suki!:)
PS)My sister sniffs crayons.

It looks amazing! Very even and I love the color - oh and I am a fellow yarn sniffer - I can't help it. I also rub the yarn on my cheek - that is the cheek on my face...get your mind out of the gutter ....lol

Great yarn! That really is some color!

Hi Beth,
Great yarn!!! You're getting so good that you'll have to start considering whether to enter your skeins in the State Fair before you knit them up! Just think ... perhaps a ribbon for your effort. It's great fun! Keep on spinning...

I think the skein is absolutely gorgeous. I am so hooked on spinning.... love it more than knitting.

You have beautiful yarn and a beautiful cat. Does it get much better than this? My poor kitty has been gone over a year now and we are so lonely for the company of a feline. I so want to learn to spin!
