The bad news: I was forbidden to attend the 40% off yarn sale. The good news: the reason for the sale was to clear out all the old stuff to make room for the new stuff. Rejoice! New yarns of the season are here!

Everyone get to your LYS immediately, for I have found the world's best yarn. Plymouth has invented what I hereby proclaim is the softest fiber known to man, appropriately named "OH MY!" I'm already going to town on a free pattern to put up later this month, and many more are brewing in my head to submit to Plymouth for publication.

In spinning news, I brought a big new batch of handspun to sell at the Woolie Ewe, and I am planning a gargantuan project: I'm submitting a handspun project for Pluckyfluff's next book (and crossing my fingers that it will be good enough!) This wednesday I'm going to make my first trip to the White Rock Weaving Center and see if they have any crazy fibers that I can't live without to add to my already overstuffed spinning supply drawer. Pictures of the work in progress will be available when I get started.
