Here's a toe view of those socks Mom knitted up. 

School School And More School

I know I haven't posted much lately; however, lately I've been pretty busy with school. My goal this week is to work on mothergrove's website. Spring Break is coming up soon, and I'm hoping to have some of the nice commercial roving I've purchased recently spun up. I also bought 4 ounces of Corn Silk I'm dying to attempt to spin. Well back to the school work.

Peace and Light

Here's the socks mom knitted up in my sunset Orange. I had to dye more 

This is another Opal I'm knitting with. I love Opal Yarn for socks. Not as scratchy as some of the ot hers. 

Help Me find my other sock This is actually the second sock to a pair I was knitting with an Opal Brazil, but I can't find the first one to finish it up. So Where in the World is the Valley's other sock 

Here's a close up of the mystery wool. Man was it nice to spin up 

A Close up of the Dusky Rose. 

More yarn I've spun up. The dusky rose is my dye job. Another split color from food colorings and the back yarn is a mystery yarn. Wool, Alpaca, dog hair, rabbit hair, mohair. No one knows completely for sure. The processor doesn't like to waste anything. 

Mom's socks she knitted from our trip to the fiber mill 

Schools in Session

Well I had my first class yesterday. Micro Apps woohooo... I even took some of my drop spindled yarn in to show my prof. Monday's the big day though I've 3 classes and need to work 2 hours inbetween.

Went and Got my Text Books

Oh My Oh My Oh My....
I spent over 500 US dollars on textbooks and software this semester. And we won't discuss weight LOL... I've one professor that I think enjoys finding the heaviest book out there, and another that really likes to hike up the price. Okay you too I'm just teasing you. I've got an easy semester when it comes to prof's this one. I only have 2 for all my classes. I'm normally shaking in my boots the first day of class since I'm surround by a whole slew of strangers, but not this semester. It's gonna be a definite different experience. Well Off to finish email and then watch the tele while I spin for the evening. For tomorrow after Fiber Hall. I begin to cram for classes.

There are really 2 skeins here. The greyish blue is named Morning Dove it's the remainder of some fiber I bought at West Branch this past summer. The other is Cherry Kool Aide died. and isn't actually that bright. It's more muted 

The White underneath is Ramboulet. and the brown is actually from a sheep Named Cpt Crunch. It spins up nicely 

I can't believe it looks blue If you saw this in real time it's actually a purple. My friend Peggy gave 4 oz of Merino top cut roving for Yule.,,,,, Thanks Ms Peggy
