Another view! 

Look at the yummy yarns that have been spun this week!!!! Don't you just love them? I can't wait to knit SOMETHING with this!!!! 

This is as far as I've gotten on the snowdrop shawl. Only about 5 more inches before I start the edge!!! Yeah!!! 

What a week so far. My very good friend just got out of the hospital from having her colon removed. I am very worried about her, her incision split open, and she is a widow with no one to care for her. I think I'll have to check her out a couple times a day. Anyway, I'm just glad that she's home.
I've been spinning alot this week, (will post just finished stuff). We had group yesterday, and no one showed! Bummer!! But usually in the summer that's what happens because everyone is gone for the summer. But, we're not going to be daunted. Anyway, I'm still spinning!!!! Happy spinning week to everyone.

Here is evergreen on the wheel, I don't know what I'm going to do with this. But it's soooo pretty! Happy spinning. 

kinda of hard to see, but here is another 300 yds. of singles for the Feather and Fan. One more is hanging for the twist to set. I'll be starting it soon!!! 

Here is the Snowdrop shawl. Progressing nicely. This is about all I've been able to do since I've had a migraine all week. Almost ready to start the border!!! 

Tuesday I "threw" a pool party for the kids. I had 15 teenagers here!! Then 12 spent the night!! Well, now I'm paying for it. I have had a borderline migraine for the last two days. So, no post. But when I can see straight, I'll be back!!! Haven't even had a chance to spin, can you believe that? I don't want to mess around with what I've got on the bobbin right now though, it's for the Feather and Fan shawl, and it has to be perfect. Posting soon....

And here's the graduate, Karl!! 

some kool-aide dyed singles that are waiting patiently to be knitted into a beautiful shawl. Now I need some ideas. (hint, hint) 

Isabelle (at a graduation party), she's just waiting her turn for the dance floor. 

Not a great picture, but you get the idea. This is the snowdrop shawl. I finally stopped spinning long enough to do some more. I'll probably knit for the rest of the evening. What a wonderful end to a wonderful day! 

Here is the first 302 yds. of singles for the Feather and Fand shawl. Twist set, isn't the color pretty? Just about 1500 more yrds to go. 

What a weekend! We have been going non-stop. Just went to some friends today for a BBQ, and to ride their wonderful horses! Whew, lots of fun. Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend. Back to work. (for some people), back to the sticks for others of us!! :)

My spinning teacher thought that since I was a beginner that she would enter some of my first handspun into the contest for novices at the Greencastle Fiber Arts Festival in Indiana. I was delighted to find out that I placed third with this 2-ply, kool-aid dyed cotswold. I was so shocked!!! But happy. This has prompted me to keep on spinning happily! This is now my 9th month, and I think I'll be spinning forever. 

Here's George posing with the kool-aid dyed cotswold wool. Isn't he cute? (he's the 3rd child) 

This is Cormo/blend, I love this color is forest, and it's from Paradise Fibers. This is about 2 days of spinning, and worth every minute!! 

Merino/blend on the wheel!! It's like silk. I'm needing to spin about 2000 yds. for the Feather and Fan Shawl in GOL. 

And the matching hat. 

She will just fit this Dale of Norway cardi and matching hat when she's one. Can't wait to see her in it.  

Couldn't resist. My wonderful sister, and the sweetest baby in the world, my niece Isabelle. Isn't she a doll? I've gotten her ready for the winter with this one. 

"We're waiting!!!!" I spun this up about 2 months ago, waiting to be knit into a wonderful fair isle. We'll see. May change my mind yet. 

Eva looks fabulous in the Scandanavian Vest. It fits her like I made it for her!! The pattern is from Sheial MacGregors book of Scandanavian Knitting. Wonderful, beatiful patterns. 

here's Bonnie in her Peddler's Shawl. She deserves it!!! She has the best massage hands around!!! Thanks Bonnie! 

Back to the grind stone. I have some major spinning to do today. Talk more later! Happy knitting, and spinning all.

Look what I stayed up until 1:00a.m. spinning!!!!!! Couldn't help myself. Isn't it yummy? 

The full view!  

My kate modeling the Peddlers Shawl! Isn't she beautiful? 

Started the Snowdrop Shawl from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, lace-weight from Skacel, size 5 needle! Whew!!! Kinda funny getting used to that spider web yarn, on that needle!!!!
