Hey guys!
I wanted to let you know that fiber club renewals are now open! They will remain open for returning club members until next Friday, then the remaining spots will be opened for everybody else for a week. I have had such a great time dying club fibers and I hope you guys have too!
I also have finished another 8 oz of lace weight yarn for another shawl. This is Party Dress the December fiber from the Spunky Eclectic fiber club.
I split out each color and spun it separately. I have been thinking of adding in some black for a contrast, but I haven’t decided on a pattern yet.
I had such a shock this week, I almost fell over dead! My husband and I were looking through flickr pictures of Amigurumi last weekend, and he says “can you show me how to do that?” O_O I was completely speechless for a few minutes, and for those who know me in real life know that is something that rarely happens. So this week I showed him how and he did a great job! I will try to get a photo of him doing it next time.
Also, my son has shown an interest in spinning again. You may remember that he gave it a go about a year ago, but hadn’t really been interested since. Then he asks me this week if he can go with me to my spin-in on Saturday! I told him he absolutely was more than welcome to come and I went and got him a drop spindle this morning. I will try to get photos of that too!

I want to come to a Spin In! It sounds like fun. 🙂 I think kids are just naturally drawn to spinning – how could they not be? It seems like magic! Can’t wait to see your husband’s amigurumi. Hooray for hobby-sharing!

Oh. My gosh. That is the most incredible thing I have heard! Good for Joe! Maybe a hobby will be good for him! I want to come to the next one, if I am not back on my deathbed.

What’s the best way to learn ami? Are there any good tutorials you’d recommend? YouTube videos, or such? (I desperately need another hobby, much like a hole in the head.)

I can just imagine you speechless! That’s so funny about your hubby. We need a family portrait! You and your son spinning, and hubby crocheting together!
GORGEOUS colors and spinning!

Wow. How did you get the hubby interested in crochet? When I ask my significant other if I can show him how to crochet or knit he looks at me like I’ve just asked him if I could paint his fingernails or something. I point out to him that there are a lot of men who crochet and/or knit. But he just gives me the same look. Oh, well… 😛
