Ah... for a great many, well YEARS now I have wanted some rowan felted tweed. Did you know it's a Merino and Alpaca blend? Beyond yummy!! Today Jesse and I went out and I indulged myself.

What are you going to make with that Rowan Felted Tweed Pixie? Why I am hopefully going to make another Essential Stripe sweater if I like how the first one turns out. The Strings and Strands owner told me I should be knitting size 36" [ sweaters, not 34" so now I am worried. I am just going to finish it though and see how it fits.

Oh I have dreamed of this colorway of Rowan Felted Tweed for sooo long ohh yay! I believe it's the "Watery" colorway which is more vibrant in real life then in most photos.

In sad news, when I was in Strings and Strands I was mentioning to the owner how a long time ago when I first came in there it was her mother who found my knit stitch was twiseted (I was wrapped backwards) and "saved" my knitting. She looked at me perplexed for a moment (probably because it may have been 2 years ago) and said, "Oh, my mother passed a month ago". I am guessing she had not been in the store probably for a while. I felt awful, but I said well your mom saved my knitting and if it wasn't for her I would probably still be knitting wrong, and she smiled and I think that made her happy.

Tomorrow is Distaff day for the Peachtree Handspinners Guild. Desiree is going to be there, Melissa and mouse, and Ruth from the Yahoo! Spinning list will also be there with some friends and hopefully Greta from my Knitting Meetup.
