Poppy Flower Fibers Domestic Wool in Sunset. I have JUST about half of this spun up. It is spinning like a dream! I hope to finish this up this weekend and have some finished yarn for you next weekend!
But what is it in?? Well, that would be my new basket! I picked it up at the Ren Fest Sunday when May, Cristi and I went for the last day of the Fest this year.
May and Cristi dressed in garb!
I didn't, but I did find a kickass parasol. Which I didn't buy, so I have to reflect wistfully at the picture. Cristi and I had our palms read.
It was interesting (I think the palm reader has spies *looks at all of you*).
As for goings on...well, the Tortuga Twins put on an excellent set of shows...
They picked a VERY tall man as the villian.
Then there was humping. No, I didn't hump.
There were pretty greyhounds from the rescue. I would rescue one, but we have 2 cats and 2 pugs between us and we just aren't getting anymore. Oh - and there is the fish tank. Yeah, we have enough.
I really should back up a day, though because Jen came for a visit this weekend!!!
I took her to Charlotte Yarn where we had a day of knitting and then we went to Cristi's for more knitting! I thought we might make it to the Charlotte Purls meeting on Saturday, but by the time Jen made it to town and we had lunch, then went to the shop and I picked out yarn, it was almost 3. But, it was a fibery weekend of goodness!!! Jen was quite taken with the size of my stash. And Cristi's.
As always, we had Friday night Craft night. It was just me and Cristi this week and she made chili for dinner. It was yummy. I brought chocolate pie. We had some chocolate Redi-Whip for the pie and about 9 I looked over and said, "you know what else chocolate Redi-Whip would be good on? Chocolate Martinis."
Yes, they were good. A little strong, but yummy none the less.

Your handspun (and the basket that it's in) is gorgeous! Just curious, but how long did it take you to spin a bobbin of singles that thin?
