Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Monday holidays always screw me up. I can never remember the day of the week and I find myself constantly looking at my calendar. Don't ask me why, they just do. So this week has been a little off for me.

Since I have no finished sleeve or yarn to show I thought I could distract you with some new fiber. First up is this one.

Okay, I know that it is just white fiber but wait until you hear the fiber content. Merino, Angora, Baby Alpaca, Cashmere and Silk. Oh yeah, luxury all the way. I am thinking of spinning this really fine and plying it with a silk thread or maybe the silk with a pearl colored bead I have. I haven't decided yet but I can not wait to spin it.

I also got this one. Arabella.

Yeah, back to the crazy colors. This one has glitz in it too. Just a little, but I know it will come through in person. Both of these came from Peculiar Ambition again. They used my pictures from the 2 batts I spun of theirs before and offered a little discount that I just had to take advantage of. I mean who can pass up discounted fiber.

Thanks for the heads up (haha) on the hat pattern. Of course that is about the only IK issue I don't own since I started knitting 4 years ago. Go figure. But it looks like I should be able to get a back issue. I also found a few freebies that might work with minor adjustments so I might try those first.

I am also proud to announce that I finished my 100 miles on Tuesday. I was so close on Monday but since I wasn't sure how far I had to go I missed it by 3/10th of a mile. I am just going to keep going and see how far I can get by the deadline as well as for the year. It seems to be a motivator for me.
