Its always good to know something you've made is well-appreciated. I made a pair of mittens from 2 skeins of Naturally Karamea (wool, alpaca, and possum!) for the boy. And he's hardly taken them off since!



I've learned a new spinning technique. Still haven't mastered it, but I've made a thick and thin (or "slub") yarn for a friend. I've been having issues getting the thick parts through the orifice, because they are so large! The wool has a bit of a long staple so I was having a time of the drafting.


In Seattle news, against all odds the Seahawks made it to the playoffs and won their first game! I have a hard time cheering for Pete Carrol (BOOO USC BOOO) but there are a lot of former Cal players on the team, so it evens out.



They have to play the Chicago Bears next, which doesn't look good, but who knows! Any given Sunday.
