Happy St. Paddy's day weekend! I have been on call and actually worked most of yesterday! 3 Surgeries on a Saturday. Helps to pay the yarn bill. I was so excited I got my Lisa Souza Yarn last week. It is my first handspun, handdyed yarn. I opened the ziplock bag it was packaged in and about passed out! It stinks! Kind of a mix between wet dog (sheep)? and manure. Is this normal? I placed a gain/bounty dryer sheet in the plastic bag and closed it up for a while. Still stinks. Especially the lime and violet. I guess that is part of the charm of a natural fiber? Or is it?
Check out the little felted booties. So cute. I didn't realize until after I finished them that I screwed up on the top of one of them and did stockingette for a row or two. I hoped it wouldn't be noticable after I felted them, but they actually seem to be 2 different sizes. OH well. Maybe they will be just my practice pair.
I tried the monkey sock on the leg part of my magic loop toe up socks. I keep screwing that up too, but they are for me and I don't really care. The foot fits great. I'll just keep plugging on them. The group shot is a blend of 2 photos of my brother, sisters and I. We had just left our Uncle's funeral and went out to lunch together. We were actually sitting across the table from each other. Missing is our baby brother who lives in Texas. He was on a cruise with his family at the time.
