got yarn?
I went to a great yarny knitty party at fidget ann's last weekend.. got to swap/unload some yarn (came home with less than I went! yay!!) and meet a bunch of MD/DC/VA bloggers! A whole lot of fun!! I have a picture of the yarn, but my ftp isn't working, and I don't feel like rebooting the machine! maybe tomorrow.. anyhow, it's just a table loaded with... yarn! better pics are out there!
I wove in a bunch of ends on the rosedaleish sweater (again, no foto).. all that is left to do is do up the pits! woo-hoo! It is slightly tightish fitting though.. moreso than expected. not bad tight, but definitely need-a-good-bra tight.
I also dyed a few sock yarns and some new roving this weekend- I'm in the process of taking pictures that don't completely flash out the pink.. no such luck. But- they are almost reskeined, and will be in the shop soon!
the main (and nearly the coolest!) part of the weekend is the progress we made on wedding invitations. We're printing our own, so we had this big fear of how "handmade" it would look. However, so far so good! These are actually part of thank you cards- the invites will be on white paper. orange ink, though! YAY!!!

I had a great time meeting you Paula. All your spinning and dyeing is very inspirational! Hope we can all get together for round two of the DC metro bloggers!
I didn't realize you were the talented Woolarina until after the swap on Saturday.
You do amazing work.
I'm still thinking about those super cool red shoes you were wearing.
It was nice meeting you!

It was great to see you again, Paula. I always love catching up with you ;) Those invitations are so great - I know you told me about them at the party, but after seeing the picture, I am just struck by their beauty!
Holy cow, I am drooling over your new sock yarns. Anything purple on the way? That is the only Project Spectrum gap I have to fill... I have every other color in my stash!
