Whew.

This has already been a really hectic week. I've got a few minutes of down time and am REALLY enjoying it. This won't last long- 5:00 today at the latest. I'm sort of expecting the world to explode again any minute...

Spent some quality time last night, after getting off work at 7:00, with my ball winder and swift. I wound up the incredible Pima Cotton I got at Good Fibrations this summer and the (no picture) beautiful Painted Xian 50/50 wool silk in pinks/reds/oranges from Textiles A Manos. Yummy. I am so sad they weren't at the Taos Wool Festival- I was ready to blow more cash there. Ah well.

I cast on for Flora last night. I'm using the incredible pima cotton yarn. It's like knitting a cloud with a cloud. The yarn is really loosely spun (if spun at all) organic pima cotton wrapped with a really fine thread to hold it all together. Interesting construction. Creamy white. Lousy stitch definition, but that doesn't matter for this project, so I don't care. It. Is. So. SOOOOOFT.

Not sure yet what the Xian is going to be when it grows up...
