Well, The Daughter sez that the Grand-Fetus is growing nicely, thank you and that there is a pooch where there never was before. Imagine that! A bump, a curve where there was once a flat place. Hmmm, will wonders ever cease? Of course you KNOW that this is going to be dangerous...I am going to start getting excited and there will be no end to wanting to climb in the gas sucking BAV (that is the Big Ass Van, for the uninitiated) for a 3 hour round trip reconnaissance, which will involve baby stores and knucklehead things like that. The Son-in-law is busy doing his homework, getting himself ready for his long dreamed of fatherhood. Pretty cute.
I am ready for some more spinning, while watching fluffy television tonight. How could I miss The Wedding of Rob and Amber? Survivor/the Amazing Race/Wedding...the ultimate public couple. The couple that got help all around the world when people recognized them from Survivor. How cute. Listen, don't tell his men friends but The Husband is putting The Contender on the Tivo and The Wedding is what he wants to watch. How cool is that? Sniff.
Here is my gallery of what's going on here at workaholic central. The Cardigan is starting to have its first sleeve. Once this one is "thunk up" the other will be a piece of cake...no brainer. I hate to do two at the same time, with all of that ball juggling. No thank you. Phooey. See my Cinderella glass needles? Yes, I DO use them and happily. They are Sheila Ernst creations, you know. 
The light stuff is some of my merino/possum skein that I dragged home from NZ in the big fiber suitcase...it is getting fuzzier by the day.
I spun up some alpaca roving last night, thinking that I wanted to ply it with the Bird of Paradise merino but when I did a test run of the ply today, it stunk out loud. Ugh. Alright, what to do? I dragged that bobbin of merino in here and would it up on my big ballwinder, went back out to the wheel and plied it from both ends of the ball. Here you go.
Alright, I have one more picture to show you. This is what I will be doing while sitting in the Princess and the Pea spinning chair, making something out of that delicious pile of apple flavored candy floss. Deeeeelicious.
That green tastes really good. My mouth actually started to water, like I had just stuffed it with a bunch of Sour Patch Kids. I've never thought "juicy" about yarn before!

Yum! And I don't even like green as a rule. Must be those little dabs of blue running through it...

Yeah, the green really DOES taste good...I hung the kid mohair and mohair wool from the rafters outside yesterday and when I looked at them, they looked edible.
Ok, Helle, fire away. :o)
