My life has been a bit stressful lately which is the main cause for my lack of frequent posting, but I have still been doing fibery stuff.
I got a three pound babydoll south down fleece last week from the same woman I got my last south down fleece from. This one is really really nice. [...]

This is what was waiting for me in the post office this afternoon. A ridiculously well packed box with pictures of sheep all over it.
Really they were all over the box
I wonder what the people in the post office at school were thinking when they processed it…

I’ve had a few good mail days this week. Yesterday I got a Ravelry package (I bought a pack of stickers, a bag, and a T-Shirt that is too big) and today I got the batts that I bought from Fiber Monster last week (during my crazy shopping spree. I’m expecting two more packages). They [...]

AllSpunUp has possibly the best shipping that I have ever delt with. Above is my newest top from her, 4.5 oz of merino – I stalked her shop for it becuase I’ve been wanting a blue(or purple)/brown/white blend from her for a while now. She consistantly has the best shipping known to man as well. [...]

It’s true, I haven’t totally fallen off the face of the earth into some unknown abiss but I have been very busy spinning.
This is 4.3oz of BFL that I bought from It’s a Colorful Life at Black Sheep. I really love the colors but the top was felted a bit – apparently the sheep fumes [...]

Today, August 8th, 2008, is of course the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics (well ok the soccer prelims started two days ago – you can watch them on NBC’s website if you are in the US) but its also the start of the Ravelry Olympics, also known as the Ravelympics.
For those of you on [...]
