I went Dancing last night



It was MNO and we blessed a couple expectant Mom's with gifts. I am sure Jessica will post pictures on her blog. We went to Table Rock Brew Pub. Their food is yummy and their beer is good. While I waited for my food Paula got me started on DPNs made by her Dad with a sock pattern written by her Mom. After frogging it many many many times and a bit of help from Heidi at coffee, I finally got the size right and was on my way, Dancing naked with the porcupine. It is good to have talented friends. :) So far I really like dpns much much to my surprise. Oh and the socks, they are for my little sweetie girl.

Congo The Cherry Blossom sold right away I still have the Water one. I may have to knit something as a gift out of that. I also did a custom dye I gifted to a momma friend so she could knit up some little longies for her boy bundle that will be here soon.

Can I?

Can I just keep on resolving to be a better blogger? I just signed up to join Ravelry. So I have to get better at this blogging thing. I have been knitting and dyeing yarn. I've done some sewing too. Apparently I need to open a Flicker account so that is on my list for today. There are over 16,000 people ahead of me waiting on their invite from Ravelry. WOW!!! That is a lot of people.
I also got some raw fleece I need to wash and get ready for spinning which I am hoping to start doing soon. Okay now to figure out how to post some pictures here. :)
This is my raw fleece, the ultimate fluffy mail
