I really am not trying to ignore this blog. I feel overwhelmingly busy with the shop and the two older girls home. My parents are coming and how will I ever get the house clean? So anyway, since I haven’t been posting I have a lot to talk about and plenty of pictures. This first picture is of my first lace square I turned in to the lace knitter’s group for a project they are working on. I only did one square because I wasn’t sure if it was o.k. Faina accepted it but I need to go down a needle size for the next ones. I’m a very loose knitter. This was done with Zephyr on size 2.5mm needles. I actually think I’m going down 2 sizes to a 2.0 mm. I’ll report when I get the next one finished.
We will have the evaluations as well as samples of everyone else’s skeins in early September.
How abut this for beautiful. I got it on Ebay from Lithuania. It works too. I just need to put a more suitable drive band on the thing.
Pretty soon it will be time to find out if I can go to SOAR. It’s taking a long time! I hope I got in. It is really expensive but it will be worth it. I will have a whole week of not having to think about what’s for dinner – or even anybody asking me what’s for dinner. Just spinning, spinning, spinning.
Holy cow, almost 9AM and I’m still in my jammies and have to leave in an hour. Gotta go and I’ll try not to be so neglectful this week.

You’ve had a busy week!
Your new desk is beautiful!
Love the new desk. As to the new wheel, how about DAINA f – Means “song” in Lithuanian and Latvian. Found this site with Lithuanian names:

So glad to hear from you. 🙂 I adore the new desk.
You didn’t describe the full extent of how gorgeous that desk is!!!
I hope you’ve moved that bag of fleece, though! Wouldn’t want to clutter up the place… :0
I’m really looking forward to coming up there this weekend. I’m so sorry I missed last Saturday – sounds like I missed a good one!
Beautiful stuff (LOL)!
You HAVE been extremely busy, but it’s all wonderful. I love that desk especially!
Okay, everything is beautiful–the desk, the Lithuanian wheel. All of it. But that Pegasus shawl? Wow. Just, wow! Gosh I wish your shop were within driving distance! (grin)
Wow, this was a great blog post. I’m just starting a lace/shawl KAL, and then I clicked over to your site. Amazing lace pictures! And spinning paraphernalia! I’m all asmitten. The new desk is beautiful, and if I can’t have that unicorn shawl pattern, I’ll never forgive myself. Let us know when it’s for sale, k?
Yay, I’m so glad to add your name to the shawl KAL! Yes, the pegasus shawl is saying, “Carrie! Buy me!” So I’m listening and waiting for the pattern to go on sale. I. must. have it. =)
Wow, Beth, you’ve been busy! LOVE the desk and I’m totally smitten with the new drum carder. See you tomorrow at Spinner’s Flock.
