I'm relieved its all over!
Other than everyone loving my knits, Christmas was ultra special because the love of my life spoiled the crap out of me and bought me: a ball winder, Noro kureyon, Noro Taiyo, a fur vest, and a freaking spinning wheel!!!! Along with a book, The Intentional spinner, lazy kate, and one pound of wool roving to practice. I did not see that coming. I've been spinning and dying like my life depended on it since Monday. Drafting and spinning at the same time is challenging. Like my brother said it's just as patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. In just two days I feel I've made tons of improvement in my spinning. Not so many slubs but a lot thinner than my first 15 yards

I also got a nook for christmas and since I'm poor from shopping I have no money to buy books ha ha SO I use it more for the internet and looking up knitting patterns..
I am currently knitting a nook cover out of the Taiyo ..cotton and silk ooooohhhh. My nook deserves the best! We went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra last night (side note..I'm sure Derek's parents are never inviting Jen and I to an event like that again because we laughed the entire time and made lots of immature comments) and I took my knitting but I decided knitting Noro in the dark is no bueno. You can't see the colors change boo. When I'm done with my cover I'm going to start on:
I hope to have all of them finished in time for My birthday. Birthday knitting I'll call it. I forget why I don't blog and I'm reminded by the two slow computers I have and my POS phone that takes ages to upload pictures. I'll be back with new years resolutions. Which is in three days!!!!! I have tons more pictures to post but I feel this has enough. Good day!!! CB
I love your blog!! I am a new knitter, and have found quite a bit of inspiration from your posts! You definitely worked up some beautiful handmade gifts...I hope by next year, my knitting will be debut-able..lol :)
