Pretty. So pretty.

My pal Kim (http://indigodragonfly.wordpress.com/) has started a hand-dyed yarn business.  Pretty stuff.  She has an excellent sense of colour and a fondness for the soft and sproingy yarns (similar to Casbah with yummy cashmere and merino).

She just posted some new yarns fresh from her dyepot.  Go check them out!

Those colors are glorious. I'm always looking for supersaturated colors. Yum!

Friday List It's been a busy week--the kids have been at my Mom's for all of it and it was nice to have my evenings free for a change. But it didn't all work out as I hoped because I cricked my neck monday morning and it's just starting to feel better now. Thank FSM for massage therapy. I like being able to have full mobility in my neck. It makes biking easier. Not that I biked much because it. never. stops. raining. I haven't knit or spun all week. Sad. I will finish spinning brown corriedale tonight and ply it tomorrow. Then it's time for some colour. I need more bobbins I saw Moon last night (a weeknight movie with Craig is now such a rare occurence). It was good old fashion sci-fi. Not perfect, but pretty good. Did you know big corportations have people stalking Twitter? I said something bad about one and now have someone looking into my issue at the President's office. Hmmm. Work is still making my shoulders achey. That's not so fun My bathroom is now 98% done. All that is left is painting the door and frame. I'm aiming for a Sunday completion date! I started this sweater using the blue calmer. It seems to be the right mix of fibre, shape and colour. And knitting calmer is soooooo nice after working with summer tweed. I bought Sublime yarn in purple to make Anhinga. It's sooooo squooshy. I had a chocolate bar in my desk for a whole week. I finally ate it today. I have not worked out since Monday due to shoulder/neck thing. I need to start back tomorrow. I've lost the routine since I went on holiday at the end of June. So much for after 6 weeks you'll be established in a routine.

Flurry of activity My shoulder and neck are feeling back to normal. That lovely change, combined with a roadtrip to get the kids from my mom's meant I got down to business with my knitting. Of course, it also meant starting some new things. First up, the perfect pattern for my Calmer. Nantucket Red. But for me it's Pool Blue. A nice, easy pattern, knitting up well with sproingy Calmer. Then, because I couldn't stop myself from buying a ball of Casbah sock yarn from Lettuce Knit, the Milkweed shawl. The colour is midnight--blacks, blues and purples--super pretty and about my speed when it comes to lacey knitting. And I've been spinning. I finally finished the brown singles. I did some tests with plying and will navaho ply this up tonight (too thin for me as a 2 ply). This means I can dive into my first Grafton Batt and spin some colour! I'm really pleased with this yarn I made. Thin, pretty consistent and it felt really natural to spin. That's a nice feeling. But, I didn't finish painting the door. I guess I can't do it all.
