What is better than a ground floor window with a huge shelf to sit on in the summer?
They are siblings, can you tell? Look at those faces!

Friday Felines
I wish I got the camera a moment earlier, they were perfectly spaced out. Tuna Juice!

I kept wondering why the kittie cube was crushed ... apparently she prefers this to the actual cat bed ...

Spring Ahead
Life is moving. We have more sunlight and warmer temperatures! There is light at the end of the tunnel!
I picked my next spin. Its a merino/nylon roving that I dyed. Here is it pre-pre-drafted.
Here is some of it pre-drafted.
And here is the beginning of it spun.
I also made a recent purchase from Three Waters Farm. I was surprised at the packaging, usually roving comes in a large envelope.
Its just as lovely as I expected, if not moreso.
I'm not one for the long winded goodbye posts. The podcast has been delayed until next week because my faithful companion departed us this past Friday. She was a ripe old age, so it was mixed blessings, but it still breaks my heart. Here she is a few years ago when she was still full of life, my beloved Kenya.
Please give your furry kids extra love today and always, they don't live long enough, but they make such a difference in our lives!

Into the Fiber Stash
I pulled out my fiber stash today to figure out what my next spin will be.
I'm thinking one of the merino/nylon that I dyed, its the purple, blue and black in the lower right corner.

Finished Yarn!
I finished plying my yarn this weekend. I thought one bobbin had more than the other. Here's the plied yarn and what was left over.
Here's a close up of the plied yarn on the bobbin.
And here it is after washing and thwacking.
It is beautiful. I cannot believe I MADE this. It actually came out quite even as far as weight. Its a little over-plied, but I knew that as I was doing it. I LOVE it!
I got about 475 yds out of the roving. That was a surprise too!
