Holiday Happiness

I have not been around for a while, I have been working on creating gifts galore. Well Christmas has come and gone. I almost finished all of my gifts. Darn I have one pair of socks left to finish. I wrapped them half done. DS understood and hopefully I can finish them in a couple of weeks. I am so relieved to be done with the crafting dash.
I was very happy to have finished spinning a skein of yarn for my cousin who learned to knit shortly after I did.
We are great knitting companions. I will share pictures of the skein I made for her, at the end of this entry. It isn't really soft yarn, but a fun heathery color of purple and I think it will make something fun to felt. The skein ended up being over 300 yards, so a nice size.

Now for the goodies I received this year.
I must have been a very good girl. My wonderful cousin and knitting companion, bought me some lovely red and brown wool top, pencil roving. Can't wait to play with it.
Also the book "Twisted Sisters Sock workbook" Lots of fun stuff in there.

My oldest son, bought me a fiber dying book I had on my list.
My other son, bought me some cedar chips to store with my fiber stash and a certificate to the local yarn shop.
My DD bought me some nice jammies.
DH must really love me, Cuz, I got an iPod video from him and a knitting calendar, and certificates to the local yarn shop also.
I am so excited about all of my fun new toys and can't wait to play and enjoy the new year.
