Life Can Be Crazy Sometimes
It seems like with all has been happening lately, it feels like forever since my last post! I don't like to mention personal things here too much, but there have been some major health issues with my fiance's Mom and my Grandfather and Grandmother both fell in the same week. Luckily Grandpa was ok (just a few stitches on the noggin), but Grandma didn't fare as well and had to have a pin put in her hip last week. She is in good spirits, but she'll be in therapy for 6-8 weeks. Just way too much to deal with so close to the holidays!
Then I have my year end rush to get my two maternity knit projects out on time. The first is due January 2nd, the other on January 9th. I would love to get them both off before I leave for Jersey on Friday, but I'm not sure that is going to happen.
And to make up for my spotty posting lately, here's some luscious yarn pics:
I apologize for the slightly blurry pictures, it's the crappy work camera!
Lanas Puras worsted in Margarita - for my next design for One Planet
Lanas Puras fingering in Camoflauge (go to the site for a MUCH better picture - the color is gorgeous!)
Some 2 ply cashmere Lis handdyed
And last but not least:
Some more roving to practice my hand spinning
Happy Holidays everyone!

Cashmere...mmmmmmmm.... :)
happy holidays!! sorry to hear about all the troubles in the family right before the holidays :( i hope that everyone is doing well by the new year!
Happy holidays! I hope everyone in your family gets better soon.
Oh poor grandma! I hope everyone makes a speedy recovery and that everyone is a-ok again soon.
You CAN do it (re: the deadlines). You knit under some seriously tight deadlines before and come out the victor each time so I have total faith in you.
And yes, when there's nothing else to post, nothing beats some good ol' yarn pr0n. ;)
Have a great holiday!
beautiful! i'm almost done with christmas shopping...and then i will hit One Planet for myself! have happy holidays! :)
Oh, I'm sorry to hear of your family woes, I wish them speedy recoveries.
Thanks for the yarn pics though, always good to see. Good luck with the deadlines.

I'm so sorry for you, I hope all your family recovers soon!

I hope everyone has speedy recoveries. We missed you at the knitting holiday party. Merry Christmas!
Good lord, you've had an awful lot going on lately! I hope things are going better for all of you, and that you're having a happy holiday. And that we see you at the Point sometime soon! (Tho' I'll be gone till the New Year, too).
