toys! this is just the funnest thing EVER! it spins! it eats wool! it makes a fluffy wool pillow! best purchase EVER! hehe... ok, so this was only the first run, and the color is BORE-ing, since I was using leftovers with some white merino. still- after my exam saturday, guess where I will be?!



I started these at meetup last night, and had no intention of finishing them. not even when I came home early to study this afternoon... but, they came along when we picked up thai food for dinner, and it *was* almost done (the second one-- the first was done last night after meetup aside from the thumb..)



the yarn was superulky handspun merino that I dyed after the fact. I'm definitely not going to do that very often- look at how the color pools! agh! The pattern is loosely based on the mittens in weekend knitting. Wonder what to do with the leftovers? Can't be more than 30 yards. Hmmm. maybe it's time for a winter camera case.. in case it gets cold?

hee hee! Everyone at meetup that went to Rhinebeck got spindles! It's a disease!! I should dig out my spindles and finish whatever is still on them... I vaguely remember some green merino that wants to be something or other, but is stuck on a spindle. poor thing.  ¶ 20:04
