Another Brief Update

Okay, this is going to be another brief update. I was working on a cute little toe up sock from some homespun yarn. The operative word in the previous sentence is "was". I tried two types of heels, reknit one heel 2-3 times (I lost track) and finally gave up with the toe up idea. I was worried about running out of yarn, which is why I decided to try toe up socks for these. I just didn't like the way they felt on. I kept trying to pull the heel up on the short row heel. I think I like my heels to begin at one part of my foot and the short row didn't fall there with this yarn. Oh well, so they were frogged and cuff down socks were begun last night. No pictures today of those.

I did some teaching yesterday and shared my love of spinning with someone else. She's a natural, so I expect to see her spinning beautiful yarn in the future. Her goal is to spin one skein up to enter into the state fair. My hope is that she will enter more than one category, including Novice Spinner. Whoppee!

I went to the store today to buy some DMC Craft thread from Michaels. Thirty-six small colorful skeins for about $5. How can I go wrong? I have a gift in mind for a loved one. She sometimes reads my blog, so I won't say what it is, but I will showcase the product later. I may even make one for me and maybe Robin. Hear that Robin?! You'll have to wait.

I did sign up for Dye-O-Rama and purchased the yarn for it too, Kona Superwash Fingering Weight from Catnip Yarns. I've never ordered from this place before, but heard good things on the Dye-O-Rama group blog. The response was pretty fast from the owner. We'll see how fast the yarn gets to my home.

Alright, no pictures as I said today. I'll try for next weekend.
Happy fibering!
