Girly yarn

My personal style tends toward the rectangular and plain. However, just like any other person, there are exceptions. I like baths that smell good, for instance. I have one shirt that has ruffles. I wish I could knit lace.

I'm trying to expand my spinning repertoire. So today, in honor of a friend's upcoming birthday, I tried beading some.


Sheep Shed mill ends, rayon sewing thread, and glass beads. On the lemon blooms as a Valentine for the snow-bound.

I think I may try more some day. I'm not a great plyer in the best of times, and this was par for the course. I'd also like more beads.

Wow! That looks amazing! And like a lot of fun, too. I love how fearless you are when it comes to spinning. :0)

Stephanie,
I need your email address. I have all my fencing stuff that I want to give to S. if she is still fencing. There are gloves, foils, mask, guards and shoes. May not fit her now but it will soon.

I read this before and somehow forgot to comment (good lord I hope my mind comes back soon).

So let us get this straight, you can't knit lace, but you CAN spin beautiful beaded yarn. I think you got the long end of that stick. Beautiful!

That's all I have to say about that.
