You Watchin’ ?

Old Timers
If you’ve been spinning for more than a year, I suspect you remember PippiKneeSocks–pusher purveyor of hand-painted rovings and yarns. Well, Amy posted earlier this week that Pippi is having some financial difficulties and Amy has taken the lead in trying to throw a little cash her way. Any cause of Amy’s is a cause of mine since Amy is one of those people who always steps up to the plate with donations of fiber and yarn from her shop when a cry for help is sounded. So, as soon as I read Amy’s post I started spinning up some merino roving I bought a few months back from Enchanted Knoll.
I finished it last night and set the twist this morning. Despite the rainy weather, it’s already dry:
I’m sending this off to Amy tomorrow and it will be included in the auctions she’s established for Pippi on eBay. She started a couple of those auctions today, including an Indigo Moon batt (swoon!).
So watch Amy’s blog for the auctions. I have it on good authority that there will also be some handspun for sale from spinners far more skilled than me.

I is for . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . iPods
When my kids upgrade their iPods, I seem to become the repository of their old, discarded models. Which means I currently own a first generation Shuffle,
an old school Classic (purchased when it was cutting edge, not classic),
and a first-generation Nano:
My husband has accepted only an unwanted Shuffle but constantly complains about its limited functionality.
Yesterday was my twentieth wedding anniversary and I surprised him with this . . . .
By my count, this makes us a 7 iPod family. I think there’s some asexual reproduction going on with these things.
