New Addition to our Household

Don’t panic Linda, I’m not pregnant.  But I’m not sure I could love a child more than I love this:

Matt got me a swift for Christmas.  He, Matt M., and I struggled for 2 hours trying to untangle 2 skeins of Noro Daria, and to preserve our sanity, he got me Mr. Spinny up there to prevent that from ever happening again.  So now when the ladies at the yarn shops ask if I’d like that wound, I proudly say, “No thanks.  I’ll just do it at home.”  (The yarn on the swift is Lorna’s Laces Shepard Sock in Ashburn purchased with a gift card from Mom–thanks Mom!)

All of my female family members got a Daria bracelet at Christmas time.  That is some slippery, slippery yarn.  The skeins got tangled, the wound balls collapsed.  I ended up winding the yarn around some size 19 needles and knitting them off the needles like spindles.

But the results are so shiny, no?

Today during finals week boredom, I started some socks out of stashed Sockotta.
