!!
I went to Imaginknit in SF today and totally got recognized!!

My heart exploded.


Also, I saw these socks in a museum. They are 100% cotton, 16 or 17 stitches for ONE inch, and so totally humbling.

I Got an early wedding anniversary gift today.
This amazing crow foot from Blood milk.

We went on a canoe trip.

My darling one and I got a canoe!
I learned life lessons on our first big outing:
-MORE SUNSCREEN! Guh. Every time i'm out for more than a few hours, I need to put more on... and I forgot it at home.
-I have super weak arms. Serious. The next day my little wings were tired!
-You can still look glamorous while canoeing... Check out this photo from an old power station that we explored...

Malabrigo just came out with spinning fibre.
My life just got even better!!

The Morning

Spent the morning with three of my favorite people.

Dark Things

Do you ever feel like there are so many new things to do and make?

 

So I made the outfit in this photo... and I really had meant to make another sweater and dress this week. But time got away from me!

Also... How black metal is this photo!

Blogged

I got blogged about by Felicia Lo of Sweet Georgia!
!!

What a super-exciting thing!
I love her yarns, and seriously... her blog is the best.

What have I done!?

Seriously...
I didn't have enough to do? Mother-of-pearl.

This past weekend, I went to Victoria, BC. More importantly, I went to Knotty by Nature! They are the most fabulous shop! It is a spinners/weavers/knitters paradise!

I saw of their faceook page a while back that they were going to have fleeces from Jacob sheep. !!!!
!!! I LOVE Jacob sheep. Their fleece is brilliant to spin... which is great. But WAY more importantly, they have four horns. Which is the most super black metal thing ever, right!?






So now I have to skirt this fleece. And wash it....
Waiting for a sunny day to do it!
