Boy, I must have really offended one of my friends by that post on Facebook (see last month's blog entry for details). She has not only defriended me on FB, but also on Ravelry. Such a shame, as I hadn't intended to offend anyone. If you happen to still read my blog, please accept my apology.
Cold & rainy day today. I've spent most of the morning knitting; I'm working on a set of juggling balls for Ralph. I'm almost done with the "skin" of the fourth one & will be ready to sew & fill them later today. There's one each of black/red stripes, black/green, black/purple, and one that has all four colors. It's a surprisingly easy pattern & fun to knit as well.
I received my Pi Swap items on Monday. Wow! Lots of fun stuff: yarn, a brownie pie, cherry pie filling, can opener, treats for the dogs, treats for the birds, toys for the cat, wool wash and a little sheep magnet set (one magnet is the head & the other is the tail). I was amazed by the wool; look how it almost disappears in the shirt I was wearing when the box arrived. She obviously picked "me" colors.
In other news, I've bought a new spinning wheel: an Ashford Traveller. My very first double-treadle wheel! It's a dream to spin on. It came unfinished & I did all the staining myself before putting it together. Just in time for Ren Faire, too.
As usual, not much else going on. Taxes are done & we're getting a bit of a refund, yay! Comic-Con tickets sold out within hours of going on sale & we didn't manage to get any, boo! Maybe next year, or maybe The Boy can pick some up for us when he goes.
