   I am proud to say, I have received my first order! One rainbow infinity scarf and one rainbow slouchy hat! Hopefully I will get them done around the end of the week! I am so excited, both for me, and the lucky consumer! Bringing out my knitting needles first thing in the morning!

An Almost FO

   So the slouchy hat is up an coming! I have 28 full rows and 7 decrease rows left! Next, I am going to make Le Weekend Shawlette out of my SweetGeorgia Yarns Tough Love Sock in Touramline! I can't wait! 



   I really think that this week has been great! Monday was coupon day, Tuesday I learned to spin on a drop spindle, Wednesday was couponing, and last night was the spring dance! I had so much fun! Friends, dancing, music, it was all amazing! Today, Molly, the puppy, had to get shots. :( Poor baby. Tomorrow, I have to go to my dads. Fun right? Not. But then, I get to go to Hobby Lobby and look through yarns, laces, needles, and pick up a few pull off patterns! :) Oh! I forgot to say, my wonderful boyfriend got me the most gorgeous and I will say, my most favorite, flowers of all time! Rainbow Daisies! They're only around in the springtime! I'm so thankful to have the most amazing boyfriend that I have!


Well, off to finish the slouchy hat and get it up on Etsy!

This Week is a Busy Week

   This week, thus far, has been awfully busy. On Monday, we couponed all day, 4 stores, 2 towns. Yesterday we had Co-op and I learned how to spin wool into yarn, thanks to Mrs. Stacey! It is so amazing and easy! It's much better and softer than acrylic yarn! I can't wait to start buying fibers, spinning them, then selling 100% wool items! Today, more couponing. Tomorrow, Library at 9am for CHE and the Spring Dance at 6:30pm! Can't wait!

   Here are some pictures of the wool that I handspun. I am still a beginner, but I think my best is the bottom one. It's Jacob wool and a brown and white, and really, really soft! I am using a drop spindle and am loving it! Mrs. Stacey from co-op dyed all of it, go check out her Etsy shop, BrazenStitchery!


   Now, I am going to work on my mom's Snowflake's Throw that I haven't worked on in forever :( I really am looking forward to seeing it come together! I will be working on her throw while I'm waiting for my ice cream sundae :)
