Am I The Bad Influence or is Janette the Bad Influence
I saw the new Socks that Rock Colors at http://www.bluemoonfiberarts.com/, but Janette was no longer on line, so I just new it would have to wait to the morning before I showed them to her. But the next morning there was an email from Janette, telling me to look at the same website. We end up buying two skeins each. Janette ordered Highway 30 and Lemongrass. I ordered County Clare and Fred Flintstone . I will post the yarn as soon as we receive them. Tonight I am going over to Janette's and I will bring my camera. Watch Out Janette, you and your projects will soon be part of my next posting.
Oh, Oh I Did It Again
These are the latest two rovings I feel in love with at spinningbunny.com/fibers/otherfibers.html, they are Alpaca/Merino/Tussah Top. Susan dyed these colors especially for me.

This was a good week for knitting and spinning
This week I knitted a slipper with my home spun wool, the other one is forthcoming, I am also finished with my first toe up sock, ( socks that rock) and got to spin the Alpaca/Merino/Tussah Top 50/30/20 , I bought from www.spinningbunny.com. I enjoyed spinning with it so much I called and ordered more. And I also started knitting a sweater for my son Steven. Tonight I went over to Janette's we spun and drank coffee, and more coffee. What would I do without Janette? Tomorrow I will take pictures and post them.

Knitting at Barnes and Noble
Yesterday was the first day I had attended knitting at Barnes and Noble in a long time. Now that my work schedule is allowing me to attend I will be there every Saturday. The usual was there, Janette, Michelle, Jody, Melanie, Mary, Judy and Helen and a suprise visit from Dale. It was so good to see her. I worked on my toe up sock. I received my replacement SOCKS THAT ROCK yarn. And I can't wait to tell Janette that our sock yarn from Susan's Spinning Bunny shipped.

Toes Up
Last night I went over to Janette's and with her help and support I started my first pair of toe up socks using Socks that Rock yarn. We talked about my making a sweater for my son Steven. I chose Lion Brand Wool-Ease Yarn -Butterscotch, and ordered 12 skeins today. I will be making Steven the same sweater I am making Doug. Today, Janette and I decided to try spinningbunny.com 50% Superwash Merino/50% Tencel sock yarn. Janette chose "Denim", ( for her son-in-law Gregg) and mine will be a suprise, even to me. I can't wait for the mailman to bring my fiber. I will post pictures at a later date.

Spinning
Last night I was watching television, and with the thought of going to Janette's tonight and spinning with her and Michelle, I decided that I had better start spinning immediately. I forgot how relaxing and how much I enjoyed it. I spun some confetti, and will continue spinning it tonight. I am going to take Janette's suggestion and make socks with it, but this time toe up.
