Mommaoften is in town, trying to help me get organized. Let's all wish her the amount of luck she's going to need to get that task accomplished!

Vyvyan Neel, commando orignale, stopped by after a two month hiatus, with some beautiful projects in tow. Some are going to be featured on her website, some will be entered for publication, all were fun, funky, and "outside the box" designs which she alone could come up with. It was wonderful to see her again, and I am looking forward to knitting some of those designs! She is brilliant. That is all.

I am currently spinning up some black Alpaca roving I purchased at Fiberfest 2008 from Ozark Mountain Alpacas , a local Alpaca farm in Fayeteville, Arkansas. If everything goes as planned, they will be knitted into Ladylike Mesh Gloves by Eunny Jang, for my daughter's graduation. I'll be adding pictures to this post, of the yarn, not the gloves. As I get started on those, I will post some pics... stop laughing, it might actually happen...

I finally saw Twilight, Dani and Jen's current, ahem, favorite movie. It was a pretty good flick, but I won't be joining the fan club anytime soon. Although, ala another commando... "I like his daddy!"

David is showing off with his Navajo plying, and doing a lovely job, btw. He is teaching the two socks on two circulars class for me, and is trying to master the two socks on DPN technique featured in the current Piecework... I will get to trying it, although I'm thinking the only way I could keep them straight is to knit two different colors as shown in the instructions, requiring me to either wear mismatched socks, or make two pair, one of each at a time. We'll see.

Heh.

I am done spinning up the alpaca, and I ain't bragging, but the balance was PERFECT. It just layed so evenly, I was amazed... It was the tensioned lazy kate, I tells ya...
