Holymoly!
Saturday, June 27th, 2009Another shawl off the needles.
The yarn is a wool/celluloseblend I got off ebay a while ago, but I actually think there is some acrylig in there too because the yarn was really squeeky on the needles.
No pattern this time either, and as for my last shawl this will go into my “for sale” bin too 
Shopping french…
Friday, June 26th, 2009More shopping stuff, I placed and order at Alysse Creations for a spinners control card and some glitz fibers. Superfast shipping, because I had it in my mail 3 days after my order!
And I got a small sample of Banana silk! I have never ever heard of it, but I really like the feel of it.

And I am in sort of a shock, waking up to the news that Michael Jackson no longer is with us because of a heartattack.
He has a very special place in popmusic and I think everyone has heard about him in one way or another.
RIP MJ.

Dawning dreams
Thursday, June 25th, 2009I placed an order over at Dawning dreams some days ago and this is what I bought. I just have to really recommend this seller very much, great communication, fast shipping and the items was carefully packed! take a look at all the great stuff over there!!!
And look at the supercute stamp that was stamped on my package!!! I thought it was so adorable I just had to take a pic!
Shawl pin
rubbery stitchmarker rings
and an orificehook for my spinning wheel.
The orificehook has a very good feel and lays properly in my hand while in use.
And just for you curious minds that wonder how I can spin while I have a cast (that has to be held high when I sit) on my leg… her is the pic taken of me just doing that

Cocoons
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I have also tried spinning cocoonyarn, and I am happy to say that it was much easier than I thought! I still have some issues with balance in a singleply yarn, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it now.
The fiber used here is Masham (blue) and Colonial (purple). The yarn is sportweight and 68.5 yards
I also got some new needles and stuff from Getknitted.
