Can't post... too busy Wii'ing
I found the Wii Fit... and it arrived this week. So far I love it! Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Party 8, Wii Sports... oh my. Guess I have to admit it, I love my Wii! And yes, we Wii together - I do believe that was the goal.
I have started knitting some new "plain jane" socks with some Colinette Jitterbug - it calls for size 3 needles, but I started them out on 1s... it is a bit tight. I may redo with the 2.5 HiYas I picked up at the NH Sheep & Wool, but I have such a fear of dropping a doublepoint on the train that I am hesitant to do it. We'll see...

I've been a Wii bit busy...
I have been busy this summer... lots of spinning (and not so much knitting going on)
and I have a great basket full of yarn to play with:
And since my friend Paula had leant me her drum carder (after being totally inspired by the Color Blending for Spinners class at the Fiber Revival) to play with I had this:
However, not much is left of that (and I will totally card up some more of the blue fiber and white alpaca - not sure what it'll be for, but I LOVE the finished product!) I took it up to Beverly Farms with me last Saturday to show a very nice young lady how to spin. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had so much fun!
But what has taken up so much of my free time in the last week has been a little present that my hubby bought for me - a Nitendo Wii! I love it! (And much to his surprise, so does he!) Lots of Wii Sports going on here - and some Super Mario Party 8 too. Waiting for the delivery of Mario Kart and my Wii Fit and I think we'll be all set for a while. What a great gift - he's always thinking that guy - and electronics are his favorite presents.
Well, off to enjoy the rest of this beautiful Labor Day afternoon - I really want to finish spinning up the Yak/Merino/Icelandic to make a Logan River Wrap. I'm just hoping I end up with enough yarn. And then I'm sure there will be more Wii'in' this afternoon!
