Spin. Knit. Sock generosity

What have I been doing all week? Let me give you a glimpse of my life right now. Spin. Knit. Spin. Knit. Spin. Knit. Get super cool sock yarn in the mail from super cool knitters. Spin. Knit.

Yes, that’s right. Ask and you shall receive, at least that’s how it worked this time. I mentioned my sad sock stash and what reared its head? Generosity, kindness, super-cool-osity. Look at my growing stash, look at it! There’s spunky eclectic, sunshine yarns, fleece artist, koigu, lisa souza. And that’s not all that’s coming either. There are several more people sending stuff. Can you believe it? It’s all so beautiful I don’t know what to knit with first. Well, first I suppose I should finish the little beauties below. Remember I said I had exactly one hank of sock yarn left, well, Monkey is taking shape all over scout’s swag. Amazing, aren’t they? The pattern is fun, pretty easy to memorize, and doesn’t that yarn sing with it?

And for the spinning, it’s going great, if not a bit tiring. I’ve got less than 4 weeks until the baby is due to arrive and my board looks like this.

What that reads is 40 custom and shop orders but that doesn’t include my weekly shop updates. Lots of spinning to do, but it’s great and needed and will really help during my whopping 4 hours of maternity leave.

Maybe you can spin during labor? You know, to take your mind off of things?

Oooh ooh ooh oooh! P.S. My birthday is in four weeks! Maybe you can have your baby on the 16th of February? It's worked well for me. Aquarians rock!

Your box of yarn is on its way. Depending on the post office, it may take a day or two to travel the 50 miles from me to you. I hope you enjoy them.
