Hooray! Knitty.com gave me a rave review in this issue’s Fiber Fiesta. I had sort of forgotten I’d submitted (given up hope), and then the orders magically started rolling in. My class tonight was cancelled due to flash flood watches, so I got to stay home and card more batts. I just put 10 more Firecrackers in the shop and I’ve got wool for 16 more drying in the bathroom.

Plus, I had carded several extra batts to match the colorway I submitted, so those are now available as well.

I’m so flattered that Knitty’s test-spinners had nice things to say about my babies. I got all 4’s and 5’s on the ratings, and all three spinners commented on how the fiber was softer than they thought it would be. That reaffirms my decision to use only merino & BFL in these batts rather than a lower quality wool.

I am now having a little celebratory Fiesta of my own. I have no tequila; just white wine… but I’m pretending there’s a sombrero on my head. I think that counts.
