El Matchador and I are spending a lot of quality time together lately. I think watching the videos on the new edition of Spindlicity played no small part in my recent spinning binge.
I was able to finish off all 7 ounces of Blue Moon Fiber Arts roving, and I'm already a bobbin and a half through some more of the creamy white Cormo I got a little while back.
Specs
- Roving From: Blue Moon Fiber Arts
- Colorway: Eggplanted
- Fiber: Merino/Bamboo
- Total Yards: 690
- Skeins: 2 and a baby skein
- Ply: 2
- WPI: 12-ish
- Weight: 7 ounces
I think I could make a little something fitted with this or get a little more mileage by using another yarn and working stripes. Or maybe I'll make a vest. Hmm. Whatever I do I want to make it something special. I just love the colors.
Also, I'm just wondering, is it just me or is this cute?

LOL! No, it's not just you. That is CUTE! ;-Þ
Did you manage to pose them like that, or did you just catch them like that? What a couple of camera hams! ;-)

No, it isn't just you. They're ridiculously cute.
Although they bear no resemblance, Thea's huge ears make so much of her expressions just like my Lunil's.

Of course it's not just you -- they're ADORABLE! Dog friends are the best thing ever.
And your yarn is also gorgeous, of course! :)

Ridiculously cute - that first picture, in particular, would make an adorable Valentine's Day card. I am drooling all over my keyboard looking at that yarn. It is fantastically gorgeous (especially since I have a particular weakness for anything purple).
