Today…what could have been…

I really was hoping that today would have been a kick-ass knitting day. But, alas, no such day for me. Stress about work (the hubby’s co. & Tracy’s job, that is), in-laws coming into town, bday tomorrow (and no Disneyland trip ), and I still have not finished the last felted bag for Tyler’s teacher.

So, as of now, 7pm, I am about half finished with the bag. It shouldn’t be too bad to finish but I just can’t seem to go really, really fast like I need to. Also making up the stripe pattern has a tendency to slow me down, I find myself just staring at the pattern & not moving on. Hello?!?!Anyone home (echo, echo, echo)?!?! Jayme came over this morning since she didn’t have to work until 2 and knit a virus. Of course she used her own handdyed, handspun yarn to make it. It’s for a visitor friend…no names until he or she receives it.

I had major stash enrichment today!! I will post pics of the actual yarn I received but until daylight tomorrow you will have to make do with what I put up now. Here is the lace merino Tracy & I have been waiting since October to receive

Here is some wool sock weight yarn from sanfelipesantiago on Ebay

Also some of the beautiful verdeatriana from handpainted yarn

Verdeatriana mm117

As well as some of their natural merino (possibly for dying, haven’t decided yet)

Natural mm63

Of course I will post a picture of the stash all in one. It’s so soft & woolly…I could sleep with it all. I might have a bit of trouble actually getting the hanks to ball up correctly but hey, it would be a good nights sleep finally!
