Better

Things at home have been much better. And peace is starting to come over this family of mine for a little bit, at least.

Tonight, I was browsing some shops of aquaintences and I saw something that has made me upset. Legally, there is nothing I can do about it but still it is upsetting and disappointing.

I'll move past it but I am allowing myself to feel upset and giving myself the right to be upset. I am human, after all.

Look What Came From the Mail Fairy!!!


So today my post lady has been promptly been named the mail Fairy!!!! This is 3.32 oz of yummy Angora goodness from Handspun Harvest ! And yes, even though I currently have 3 spinning WIPS (one reason why I am not allowing myself to buy anymore spindles) I just had to start spinning it. I have spun angora before but not by itself. I have spun a superfine merino/angora/silk/angelina mix that I handcarded at one point before I sold my handcarders. But it takes a little practice spinning 100% angora. But it is so so soft!
I love you Pineapple!!! And I covet all of your and your brothers and sisters lovely fiber goodness! OH so soft!!!! I intend to ply it with some other roving I have here. Not sure which. I have quite a bit to choose from. But I still have so so so many more Christmas presents to finish knitting and crocheting!!! I just wish I had more time.
