My January Phat Fiber Boxes arrived and I must say,
They are AMAZING!!
And because it is the anniversary of Phat Fiber,
Jessie included full size samples in random boxes!!!!
I got a full skein of yarn from Treasure Goddess!!!
And I was so lucky, because I also got full size batts
from Desired Haven Farms!!
And my yarn for the Boho-Crafty Spin-A-Long
became this neckwarmer/cowl!
So on Saturday, a friend and I jumped in the car
and drove to Elizabethtown, KY to meet Brandolph3,
and deliver his new Kromski Sonata Spinning Wheel!!
(yes, it was mine, now it's his, and who wants to ship it,
when you can turn it into a roadtrip??)
We went to Blueball Mountain Spindle and Needleworks
I regret to say that I didn't take a single picture while
Ben was there :( But it was great to meet him and
his family and share our spinning and knitting stories!
They were having a knitting class and it was such fun
to meet all the ladies and talk about fibery things!
This is Luna (LunaTheFarmLady), she owns the shop,
and she welcomed us in to spin and knit with them for a while!
I bought this super lush batt made by Luna herself!
And some self striping Cherry Tree Hill
(I'm on a self stripping kick...)
The ladies at the store gave us a great recommendation for lunch!
My friend from Nashville and I headed over to Glendale, Ky
to the Whistle Stop Restuarant!
They said it's not the one from Fried Green Tomatoes,
but you could have fooled me!
The food was deep fried and AMAZING!
Then I stopped at the Neighborhood Knit Shop in
Hendersonville, TN!!
I met Sharon (Knitshopgirl) who showed me around!
I picked up some ChiaoGoo needles and this super soft yarn
to make yet another hat!
Also, I have fallen into the deep end of Ravelry and
discovered the Completely Pointless and Arbitrary Swap Group
It has sucked away all my time this week but I have scored
some AWESOME yarn as a result.
I may have to ban Ravelry for a week or two though so that
I can get some knitting/spinning done!!
BAZINGA!
Check out the iphone friendly gloves that I made from
Twisted Limone in Chocomint!
And another Sockhead hat from Twisted Limone in Jean-Jeanie
