I thought she was kidding about the beard stubble.
Sometimes I write journal entries in my head while in boring staff meetings and that title has been begging to have its post written so ere it goes...

If you've been paying much attention, I learned to spin recently. So of course that means I've been buying more and more fiber to play with just because it's so damn fun.

Not long ago, I bought this spinning batt. Check out the description because Miss Violet has a way with words that never fails to crack me up. Also note the tag that reads "beard stubble". Now at the time I bought this, I thought it was an oblique reference to my one-time all-encompassing lust-beyond-reason crush, George Michael, and his perfectly maintained three day beard. (I once had a crush on Boy George too, go figure)

Anyway, I spun this up and while I enjoyed doing so, every once in a while I came across teeny tiny little hard bits that kinda looked like mono filament about the length of a three day old beard. Hence the reason for the title. So what I've got to know is...Violet...did you do that on purpose just to fuck with me? Because I kept laughing my ass off while spinning and singing along to "Father Figure".

Oh and here's the yarn in case you were wondering.


It turned out very pretty with the bits of pink and white nestled in the slightly heather brown. There's not much of it but where there is looks pretty good (if I do say so myself).

Oh and I bought some other roving at the same time called "Hafta Get Away" and I've had some fun spinning that up too.

Right now, it feels more like a Blue Christmas than a Vacation...but once it's plied, I might change my mind. I think I might have enough for some socks so that would be groovy.


In other news, my husband bought me a new digital camera for my birthday so I can finally take some decent pictures again. Except now I have to learn how to use this one a bit before I feel proficient.
