Late on a Sunday night

March 8, 2009

I should be sleeping, but I just finished one of those dreaded weeks on call, and this is the only time I have to play until next weekend.

So check this out.

And spindle spinning, now.

Progress is made.  I have yet to really try plying.  It’s enough to draft.  Sort of.

I participated in my first swap.  A lovely package came to me from the UK, and included such goodies as a catnip mouse for Harrison, and bits of sea glass from beaches in England. (Be still, my heart…I love sea glass!)  There was a journal, some pretty little stitch stitch markers, and a skein of yarn just the colors of the aforementioned sea glass.  Postcards, a bag…there was some really cool new music, some of it in Arabic…relaxing and peaceful to listen to…and a really great little ditty bag knit from Noro Kureyon.  Did I say I loved getting this package?  It was from AudreyM over on Ravelry.  Thank you, Miss Audrey!

Okay.  Now I really need to go to bed.

Oh.  If I was a comic book character, I guess this is who I’d be.
