Spinning

I've been MIA again for a few weeks. Two Sundays ago I woke up with a sore throat and everything went downhill fast from there. I actually begged my hubby to come home and take care of the kids Monday afternoon. Tuesday I went to the doctor, you know I was feeling horrible to go to the doctor because I NEVER go, I don't like antibiotics so I just do my best at home. I ended up with a perscription for Levaquin, that stuff is awful! Awful isn't really a strong enough word to describe how it made me feel. I was just off. So no knitting got done at all, I started working on a pair of socks but that didn't last long. So I'm back knitting this week. I got some more new Twilight inspired yarns from Sunshine Yarns..... I am so addicted to Dani's yarn its not even funny! So I've been working on some simple ribbed socks.
Then Monday in the mail I got a drop spindle and some fiber. My first attempt went over like a lead balloon! But I was having fun trying! I got just a bit better and made some yarn that was pink. I was excited because I think that you could actually identify it as yarn even though it was all kinds of sizes all mixed together. DD loved it and got me to make her a coffee cozy for when we go to Starbucks and she gets hot chocolate. Here are a few pictures of the yarn and the cozy.


Sorry that the second picture is a bit fuzzy. My camera isn't cooperating with me today.

So, I started spinning more today and actually something that I think turned out pretty well. There isn't much of it just over 10 yards, but I'm pretty darn proud of it! It is drying right now, pictures to come soon. I ordered more roving today so that I can use my spindle some more! I can see this being majorly addicting. I'm already planning to beg my hubby to get me a spinning wheel for Christmas!

I think that's about it for now. ;) I'll post pictures of my new yarn pretty soon!
