Survey Says!!

Mystery Roving is Carbon!!
Here is some yummy yarn goodness from my stash diving/photo adventure! These single skein entries are killin' me!


I'm kinda in a knitting funk right now. Nothing sounds good to knit. At least I am documenting my stash (which is waayyy bigger than I thought- obviously the denial factor was at work...) The funk is probably due to a)it's 90 degrees outside and it's October b) our other house is STILL on the market and is getting a little stressfull (the irony is that knitting would relax me but i'm too stressed to knit!) c) I cannot keep up with the stinkin laundry enough so I can unpack the rest of the house! I never thought I would wish for rain and cooler weather, but there ya go!

Mystery color???

I started spinning my Sheep to Shoe fiber I got at Maryland sheep and wool this past May. It's wonderful to spin no issues there, I'm loving the colors (in spite of it being outside my color box so far). My problem: I have no idea what colorway it is! For whatever reason, that particular kit was not labeled and now I'm just curious and can't let it go. My guess is Carbon and some Ravelrykeeters say the same thing. I'm interested to see what it looks like when I'm done, I'm planning on Andean plying some and traditional 3ply the rest just to see the difference. Here's a picture of the Roving and my spun stuff so far.


Please ignore the dog fur on the floor by the wheel- he just cannot resist laying on my feet when I try to spin and he is not a lap dog!!

Random pics of yarn goodiness!!

Okay, I started to take pictures and inventory my stash onto Ravelry today- I can see this taking awhile... It's part shopping, part "can we be done now?". I totally need to knit more "plain" socks to use up the sock yarn. Working fancy designs are way too slow for me and I do *want* actual socks to wear! Enjoy the pics!
OOOOHHHHH!!

AAAAHHHHH!!
