I'm particularly floored by her service since a few days before I asked her about colours, I emailed The Woolery about shipping costs for a zephyr colour card. Three weeks later, yesterday or the day before (my memory is like a sieve) I get a reply. Saying that shipping to Canada for a colour card will be more than the cost of the colour card itself. I would have chalked that up to weird company policy rather than really bad service if it hadn't taken three weeks for them to get back to me. For an internet-based business? Really???
The black is what I'm working my Print o' the Wave Stole in. I'm planning on a shawl for mummy using the indigo, and I honestly don't know what I'm doing with the mulberry yet, other than fondling it.
I've made some progress with my knitting. The paisley lace shawl thing is growing. And because you really want to see a picture of unblocked lace... ;)
I'm also spinning with my new Ashford top whorl. I like the speed of the top whorl (all I had before were bottom whorl spindles) but I think I need something even lighter than the small Ashford top whorl. I'll update you if one comes in.
Yes, that orange is truly neon. It's some coopworth that I dyed with kool-aid. It was brighter than I expected, so I dyed up some pink and I think I'll ply them together. Hopefully this will result in a subtler heathered lace to cobweb weight.
I'm going to lunch with daddy's daddy and dinner with mummy's daddy today. Because daddy is miles away. Today is one of those days that I miss my mummy and daddy and the baby sis. My kiddo is coming soon though. July the 2nd. And she might be coming sans teeth. She's informed me that three of her teeth are wobbly. Her first loose teeth. How did she grow up so fast?

I love the color you're using on your paisley lace shawl!
I finished mine a few months ago in a variegated yarn color, which was kind of nice, but kind of distracting. Still, it was my first lace, so it wasn't perfect, anyway :)
Anyway, I just wanted to say I love your pictures. Fabulous knitting.
Love the shawl, am in awe of your spinning.
I miss my sister when she's not around -- even now, when we are only losing teeth to the dentist!
Your spindle spun yarn is quite impressive (cool color, too). I have an Ashford top whorl, too, but have given in to only using my Ashford Traditional for spinning anymore.
I won't even talk about those cones of yarn... because it would mostly revolve around the concept of jealousy.
I love the Paisley Lace Shawl it's so pretty. I can't wait to see yours!
And look at all your pretty Zephyrs, gorgeous.
