oh Drool

time for spindle porn!
This is my new Gripping Yarn Rose Spindle, it's made of Bloodwood. a Rose spindle is a combo of a Russian Supported lace spindle and a French hand spindle (thus far i like the French spindle part of it)The fiber was the packing peanuts, some very soft green Merino/Bamboo, probably not the best for practice, but it's purty and VERY soft! omg.I played around with it at Barnes and Noble with Sandi last night
I still need practice, it's so perfectly portable, i can do this in the car while waiting for Gigantor to get off work!

On the fiber front, i have an ounce of Mulberry Silk coming in a Dragon colorway from Plum Crazy Ranch It's part of my mother's day present from Ross and Kaeley, along with a Walnut Support Spindle (can we tell Ross is paying attention now!?)

I also got a store Credit for Corgi Hill Farms because of a mistake with her dying process, i love that AnnMarie is so conscious of these things and she'll do just about anything to keep her customers happy, i stalk her shop..all.the.time! I used the credit to buy a Babbling Brook batt.

My Demeter yarn won the Fiber Fancy Spin-a-long yesterday, it was a random drawing, so luck was with me! I don't know what my Fiber goodie prize is going to be yet, but it's shipping with my "Crow" Play in the Kettle Spin-a-long fiber.
and since I don't think i posted pictures of my Demeter Batt here we go =D


I finished knitting my French Press Slippers and just need to seam and felt them, should be interesting since i've never felted anything before.
