This was the Tutti Frutti roving that expired on my Etsy store today. It obviously wasn't a big hit in its roving incarnation so I decided to spin it as a singles, over-dye it in red and try felting it. If it works and looks good, I'll put it back up for sale. I saw some felted yarn someone else had made and I liked the look of it.
I decided to visit my local used bookstore after work today and look for knitting books. There was one. Yes, only one. I had lovely dreams of finding a treasure like one of the out-of-print Alice Starmore books or the Harmony books that have since been reprinted in a new guise but apparently are crap. No such luck. I should have known that the local knitters would have cleaned out anything good. Bummer.
Tonight was Spin Night. Tomorrow is Bagel Day... and Sushi Night. The Helmones are coming to visit and I'm hoping to feed them into somnolence. There might be chocolate.
Hmm I've never seen felted hand-spun yarn, that will be interesting! =) I have however knit with some commercial felted yarn that was quite soft, I knit a clapotis out of it.
