Finally!!!

Posted on | August 10, 2007 | 6 Comments

Friday’s finally here!  Woohoo!  I have so many things to be happy about, I’m gonna make a list!

1.  My daughter’s graduating college tonight!!!!!!!!!!!  Yes, it does deserve that many exclamation points!  She’s a chemistry major – graduating summa cum laude with several other top honors!  Yes, I’m bragging, but I think I’m entitled.  I’ll post pictures if she’s agreeable.  It’s been a long and arduous road getting here, but I am so proud of her.  She deserves nothing but good things!

2.  My mom, aunt, sister and niece are coming down from Indiana for the graduation!  I love my family.  I complain about them at times (don’t we all?) but there’s nothing like spending time with people who’ve known you your whole life.  It’s like being surrounded by home.

3.  I finished plying what I hope is the last of the brown two-ply for my sweater last night!  The second humongous skein was 430 yards, or as SB remarked, “longer than a football field.”  I haven’t wound off the third skein yet, but I’m guessing I have about 1200 yards of brown total and probably 350-400 of the red (singles spun, not plied yet). 

Here are some of the visions that danced through my head while I was spinning and spinning and spinning….

I like all these yoke designs, all but one are from Lopi pattern books.  Depending on how much yardage I get with the red, I may fashion a yoke similar to Cassie’s Voodoo.  I love her adaptation of a classic design using two colors – traditional yet contemporary.  Very cool.

Next week – let the swatching begin!  In the meantime, have a FABULOUS weekend!
