Oh dear.....It's been far too long...
What is wrong with me? That I could be away from this wonderful blog for so long?
Am I in a knitting slump? Sorta. I mean, do you really want to read about my measly two rows that I complete each day on my sock? Heck no! So I decided to wait and update when I had something worth while to say.
Here goes:
These socks just keep dragging on.....
Good thing is I am in the home stretch now. I am at the toe. It won't be long now!
I did ply the red wool/alpaca blend for the husband. Looks mighty fine if you ask me:
I hope I have enough for the scarf I want to make him....
I have been holding out on you. I made a purchase a couple of weeks ago.....
eeek! Ain't it sexy? No? yeah I agree, but it will make spinning much more enjoyable don't you think?

There it is! I've been waiting for the drum carder porn for a bit now, so have you had the chance to use it much yet?

I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOUR CARDER! And yes, it actually is totally sexy. Congrats!

The carder - totally sexy. Does that say something about my sex life? Geeze, I hope not :)
The wool/alpaca is gorgeous! That came out so nice.

The red wool/alpaca is beautiful. I love the socks too. I'm seriously considering losing my sock virginity and bought a skein of Claudia Hand Painted to play with!

That drum carder thingie looks HUGE, Tom! HUGE! Is it really that big or is it just the angle of the pic?
Hubby's wool/alpaca blend looks lovely! Can't wait to see the finished product.:)

Looks kinda kinky to me!

The red yarn is lovely, the socks look great, and if you say a drum carder is sexy, then I guess it is!

Wee hee can't wait to see it in person!
I love the short brown stripes in the socks.
Knitting slump you say? I'll be lucky if I get a sample done in time for our Steekout.

love the green socks, really nice pattern. I'm going to ask a dumb question on a knitting blog...what the heck is a drum carder? what does it do...?

ohh you are going to love making batts - they are so much fun and the spinning is heavenly.
