Because I’m tired.

Here’s some merino I spun and set a few weeks ago. I’m already running out of creative names for yarn so Cody has dubbed it “Romantic Bruise” for me.

This stuff is gorgeous and super soft.

This is some pink, yellow, and purple alpaca that I spun last weekend. Without Cody here to name it I’ved been calling it Pepto Party.

Spinning alpaca is a very different proposition than spinning wool. It spins sooo fine though. I’d say this is almost sportweight but is mostly dk.

I also finished the ornaments for the aunts’ party.

And I’m thinking about printing this photo for holiday cards

I also knit two very silly novelty yarn scarves.

This was last week’s. It’s a silly glittery fishnet pink fuzzy boo boo kitty kind of scarf that Dr. Frank N Furter would kill to have.

And I knit this one yesterday. It’s another dropped stitch crossover scarf on bigger needles with this supersuper soft novelty two ply from the Hobby Lobby store brand called Yarn Bee.

So that’s what I’ve been up to. Oh, and Winter has been getting cold (she’s a very shorthaired dog) and they just don’t make very many sweaters and things in her size. I have plans to knit one and she has a great polar fleece coat from Orvis. But she just needed a little extra, it’s not quite cold enough for polar fleece yet. So she’s been wearing some of our old t shirts.

I got that t shirt free when I bought a pair of docs in some weird downtown Sydney shoe store sometime in 92. It’s shrunk significanty since then but it fits Winter nicely. I just have to tie the shirt at her waist a bit but she seems to like it. And she looks so cute. My little punk rock mohawk sporting dog. She calmly puts up with all kinds of silly humiliations at the hands of her mom.

Ok, naptime.
