I love trolling the internet for cool fiber stuff. This is some of what I found today.

This is a cute free pattern – Tiny Angel Doll (ravelry link)
I have not knit this, but it’s so CUTE! and seamless! I have never made a knitted stuffie but this makes me wanna try!

bowerbirdknits just posted a cool blog entry about some cormo (Corridale + Merino) fleece she processed. Even if you are not interested in processing fleece (which I am not), it’s still interesting to see someone document their process. It doesn’t hurt that she dyed it a lovely blue. Can’t wait to see the yarn she creates with it!

Spincerely Yours on Etsy is having a SALE! My favorite place to buy spinning fiber. I currenly not able to buy fiber at the moment (which is killing me!), but that’s no reason you shouldn’t! Now’s the chance to try her fibers if you haven’t yet. My faves that I currently see in her shop … Delileh in superwash Merino. (I spun a very similar colorway this summer) … Induna is gorgeous with, as she describes it, cranberry/burgundy and white; intermingled and … Aphrodite in a superwash Merino/Tencel blend with purple, reddish purple, magenta, pink and white – all playing very nicely together. And if you’re not a spinner – she has some lovely colorways of yarn too! (I know this sounds like a paid commercial, but I just simply love shopping at Spincerely Yours… and I have the stash to prove it! )

Ok… enough of that! I’m off to spin – Day 5 – so far, so good! It’s time to ply!
P.S. I got all the jewelry tools and supplies I ordered. I’ll try to get pictures soon!
All of that tempting at Christmas time is not fair!
