A New Toy

Here's my new toy! I asked my Dad to make a Niddy Noddy for me and he came through with flying colors! I have a much smaller one that he used as his model. This one is the perfect size! Now, next on my wishlist is a swift . . . !

Here's my progress on the Chevron Scarf. Not too far yet, but I'm enjoying it!

My latest socks! This is my own handspun from Spunky Eclectic fiber! I followed the directions for fractual spinning from the last Spin Off magazine. It came out great! Lots of distinct stripes!


Oh yes, here's a shot of the Chocolate Covered Cherries roving from Spunky Eclectic spun up into a chunky single. I was thinking of making the Booga Bag with this, but I may change my mind and make My So Called Scarf instead . . . decisions, decisions, decisions.

Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts! I'm feeling like my old self again! And I'll be starting a new job next Monday - very exciting! Oh yes, a little thing called horse racing started up here this week - Saratoga is packed! The Rowing Cat and I may take in a few races on Friday!

Congrats on the new job!
Most of all, so glad you're feeling better.
I've been looking for a job myself, but haven't found anything yet.

I've been bracing myself for the crowds around town. This is my first track season.

I love the handspun socks. did you like the technique? Looks successful. :)
You will have to post pictures of the horse races. Would be very exciting to see.

Welcome back to the knit-blog side! Missed you here (and I was getting a little worried).

Thanks for coming out to play at camp Campanula! Does test knitting the pattern make you one of the counselors?

;-) I suspect so! Of course, I have to re-familiarize myself with the pattern!
