Giving Thanks
i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving. ours was great. i'm very lucky to have awesome inlaws who have sucked me into their wild and crazy family. crazy in a good way. you know ... the kind of crazy with laughter ... not the kind of crazy with plates getting thrown across a room, slamming doors, and crying.
anyway .... remember when i half seriously threw out this challenge? well elizabeth took me up on it. look what came in the mail on saturday (receiving gifts of fiber and yarn does not constitute cheating on the diet by the way).
4 oz of shetland wool called "bittersweet skies." isn't it pretty?













The best family Thanksgiving? I'm convinced it's always with someone else's family.

I'm so glad you took a picture of it because I forgot to. I had to get it in the mail and out of my hot little hands before I spun it up! And I'm glad you had a good T'giving. ENJOY!

Beautiful roving. I spun up some shetland/ mohair last week and it was lovely. You're really going to love it.
