Wednesday

Well, both of my MS3 shawls are done and waiting for the next installment. Gina asked if it was hard to keep up and I have to say no. I really don't have any other projects going and each clue has a manageable amount of rows. The first one was 100 rows long but it starts with only 2 stitches so the first 50 fly. Clue 2 was only 50 rows as it is now a rectangle but still manageable. It is especially easy if you don't use beads. The beads do slow me down a little but they really are great looking on the blue version. I didn't use beads on the cobweb version as I thought it would weight it down too much and I wanted something incredibly light.

I promised last time that I would finally take pictures of all the great stuff I have gotten so here you go. First up is the HollyEQQ Batty Babes installment.
Batty Babes - Dynasty Batt
This is the Dynasty Batt which this picture really doesn't do it justice. It has flax in it which I have never spun so if there are any hints I need please let me know. The other batt is the Emerald City.
Batty Babes Batt - Emerald City
Based on my steller photo of it you are probably wondering about the name but it has sparkly Angelina in a emerald green in it and it is SOOOOOO soft. I mean soft to the point that I almost don't want to spin it up.

Next is the Sweet Sheep's installment for their club. It is a great superwash merino
Sweet Sheep Fiber Club
in Berry Blitz. Which has pinks and purples running through it. I of course love it since it it pink.

The finally group of stuff is from Gina. This is what I got in the trade for the Koigu.
Lacey Lamb - Rose
Lacey Lamb in a beautiful rose color plus a few extra treats like tea, candy and 2 patterns. She always spoils me. You can see the extra pressie I sent her at her blog. She also sent me a while ago (bad blogger) a prize for knitting one of her patterns and taking a picture with it on.
Spunky Batts
Spunky Batts in a very fun colorway. Totally different for me but I really love them. They have sparkle in them too and I love the sparkle. There was also a great bar of soap but since that has already been used so I will spare you the photo but I will tell you it smells like heaven.

Gina also gave me this award.

I am still drooling over your double shawl knitting and very envious, too. They're coming out so quickly and they're gorgeous, too. It must be fun not really knowing what you'll be doing the next time.....

And your fiber!!! Fiber!! I'm dying to know how the flax will be to spin up and the Emerald City....wish the green sparkle showed up better. I bet it's awesome.

Wow!
