Wow, Sheri! That handspun you made is Gorgeous!!!!! You should whip up a bunch and sell it– it’d probably fly outta the shop!

My yarn cruiser arrived today and I LOVE it!!! Hada tough time deciding on which color to purchase and chose the chocolate and blue combo which is gorgeous! The bottom flattens out so nicely and is wider than on any other similar size bag I have seen. Her stitching is fabulous and I just can’t wait to use it next weekend. The long adjustable strap is terrific and perfect for me as I have to wear is across my body rather than over my shoulder since I injured it a few months ago. Thanks for selling such great merchandise!

I sure wish I could buy more. Righ now, I’m forced to chose between stuff for my gardens and yarn. The gardens seem to be winning.

And wouldn’t you know, I’ve caught the dreaded spring cold. I don’t seem to have any energy for knitting or gardening, FPS!

I learned to spin just a few months ago, but haven’t been very good about practicing on a regular basis. I figure that the first thing I’m going to make from my handspun is a sweater, where I can throw in the small amount of handspun I’ve made as an accent (maybe like a single stripe along the bottom of a vest). I’ve got two spindles, but I often wish I had a wheel just because it would be faster. Though it would be faster to just go and practice rather than write about how slow my spindle spinning is. ^_^;

Your handspun looks terrific, Sheri! Sooner or later you’re going to tempt me into learning to spin, darnitall. I’m having enough of a time trying to keep up with all the sock yarn that keeps jumping into my cart.

Wow! To think the seed of your spinning was sown just last November in the little cabin!
You are a natural!
Wish you were coming back this year!
I love the Shades of Ewe!

I’m sorry but those hands freaked me out! The porcelain one definitely needs a glove or something!

BTW your handspun looks great, I have a wheel on order and can’t wait to start.

Oh wow, that Sanguine Gryphon that you spun is *beautiful*! Your message on Ravelry the other day was enough to get me to order some in the sneakup. I can’t wait to try spinning it, though I’m not sure if I’m ready for something as slippery as a merino/silk blend probably is! I can’t wait to see what you knit up with some of your handspun!

I’m currently in mitten-knitting mode, or should be (need to cast on a second mitten to complete a second pair for a charity drive), so I don’t need to worry about trying to make fiddly fingers for gloves, but I like the looks of the wooden hand with the articulated joints. Does this mean you’ve “given yourself a hand”?
