lucky to meet plucky
*bag sale with new amy butler fabrics next week - details to come soon
sorry i have been silent for awhile. i have to admit that losing my bloglines subscribers makes me less motivated to blog. hopefully i will find some time in the next week or so to do a little more research. but for now it goes unresolved. i do appreciate those of you who are still stopping by!
although there is some stress in my life i did have a wonderful 5 days off last week and was lucky enough to spend it with my knitting girls - ellen and naomi. we had a wonderful guest in town, sarah, aka the plucky knitter. we filled our days with hitting some of the great neighborhoods of seattle (of course managing to hit a lot of yarn stores along the way). trophy cupcakes and a fun time were had by all.
on friday morning we got up early (hah! early for me that is!) and headed out to naomi's family lake house for the weekend. we could not have asked for better weather or better company, there were 7 of us total - ellen, naomi, sarah, michale, joni and melinda it was so relaxing - just what i needed (see joni's great post for more details on our weekend!).
of course yarn was purchased - hand dyed merino from fancy image yarns
and yarn was spun! ellen was kind enough to let me use one of her wheels over the weekend and i finally got the hang of spinning. it really clicked and although i have a lot to learn i really enjoyed it.
after 4 full days with plucky this is the only picture i managed to get
doesn't she look lovely with ellen's handspun around her neck? :)
i honestly don't think i have that much fun in some time. thanks girls!

Any thoughts of buying a spinning wheel?
Awww, she called me the other day and told me about your time together...sniff. I wish I was there with you all. Glad you had a wonderful time! xoxoxoxoxoxo
What fun was had! I'm still reeling. All that yarny goodness and the cupcakes - lands sakes! Don't think I'll ever recover!!!
