7 hours to wait
until I get her. Or him? Can't decide if I should be all goofy and name it. but 7 hours! I don't know if I can stand the excitement! Only, we were out til 1:30 last night, so mostly I'm exhausted. And my throat is scratchy. Most likely I'll go home and sleep.
I finished some mittens yesterday, but they are to be felted, and I have no washer access. Boo. I still wore them on the way to work though, in spite of them being like 2-3 inches to large in every direction. Not sure I'm a mitten person, but they're a hell of a lot easier/quicker/more interesting than gloves. I still have two sets of gloves from last year waiting for me to knit the last few fingers or something. Maybe I will finish them soon.
Maybe I should make a resolution or something.. actually finish projects? Or use up my yarn? I need to use up a few pounds (yes, POUNDS!) of lamb's pride. which I HATE! Why are the colors so tempting? And why must it be all itchy and so fuzzy? I want to like it, really, I do. Oh well.
Pictures and an introduction later. Any ideas for names?

Congrats! I think you'll have to find out the personality (spinality?) before a name is revealed...

Try soaking the things you knit from Lambs Pride in Eucalan. I had an itchy Lopi scarf that I wasn't too fond of, but now it's quite pleasantly soft. It's not angora or mohair, but it's much nicer.
yeah- I'd try washing it, but I mostly use it for felted items.. bags and stuff. But maybe washing the yarn before hand would work.
come to think of it, I don't actually wear *anything* I knit... though maybe all this merino I'm spinning will go to good use! :)
