Spending Spree.

My stash is going to take on new proportions. On the basis of Laurie's advice, I got some fiber from Funky Eclectic, just to, you know, make spinning fun. I also got some great sock blockers at the same time. Because, why not?


This is Poppy.


This is Estuary. I think, should I actually be able to spin it, that it may become a baby sweater. Or maybe I'm just wildly overestimating myself. Regardless, it will be fun to spin.


I'm reminded of when I couldn't knit very fast (not that I'm fast now, but I'm faster than I was), and it seems like there were a lot of skein photos posted and not many Finished Objects. Hopefully something similar will occur with the fiber posting.

EDIT: So actually it's SPUNKY Eclectic. I did know that (thanks, Laurie). But it is pretty funky too.

I am excited to see your spun yarn. I still can't believe you got a wheel...so hard core!

ahem. . .it's "Spunky Eclectic," I think you mean.

You're going to love spinning the Spunky Eclectic stuff. You might even want to think about joining her monthly fiber club. It's only $15 and you get 4 ounces of very pretty fiber every month.

I loved the fiber, especially "Estuary".

I haven't tried Spunky Eclectic out, but I've had a lot of people tell me they really like it. Now you're going to get me hooked! I love Estuary.
