Thanks for all the great links. You all sure know a lot of sock pattern links! I will announce the winners of the free yarn tomorrow. I plan to compile a list of the links and post them here over the weekend. Thanks for playing.

Spinning From the Haul
I have begun spinning some of the roving that I bought at the MA Sheep and Wool Festival. I started with the superwash merino since I have successfully spun merino before. Here is the first bobbin-ful.
What, you don’t see a picture??? That’s because WordPress is not letting me insert pictures into my post today. If there was a picture, you would see that I have spun a beautiful bobbinful of a greyish, purple-ish tweedy yarn with some flecks of yellow and green. I plan on spinning another bobbin and then plying them together to make a nice worsted weight yarn. I’m not a very experienced ply-er so any tips from you spinners out there would definitely be appreciated.
A quick store update, the new colorway Confetti is a big hit. I have sold almost the entire first batch. I will be painting/dyeing another batch soon. Since I am using a different (and slightly more complicated) painting process, the next batch might be slightly different. I will update the picture on the website and here (hopefully) accordingly. Thanks to all you Confetti lovers out there!
