The big one
News flash: da dadada dadada dadada
I'm 40 today
Just thought I'd share.
In knitterly news (and dyeing and spinning and designing) here's a photo of the first of a pair of fingerless mitts made from roving that I dyed and spun and navajo plied. I created my own design using basic elements from some basic glove/mitten patterns to strategically place increases and decreases and gussets and finger lengths precisely where I wanted them so the glove 'fits me like a glove'. Unfortunately, one of my lovely daughters has asked me to give them to her since they also fit her quite well. I think that will be okay with me. I spun 4 ounces of this yarn so I should have enough for two pairs. 
Go check out my Etsy shop. I added a few yarns, a couple sock knitting bags and some gorgeous mohair locks that won't break the bank.

Fab fingerless glove !
Happy Birthday from another Twisted Knitter. I like that fingerless glove, and the colors are wonderful.
This is really great, very much in the Twisted Sisters spirit, I think.
I am going to be dyeing up small rolags of alpaca/wool. I just read back on your blog about that batt that you dyed. Any tricks?
Happy 40th!
Happy Birthday from another Twisted Knitter! That fingerless mitt is simply gorgeous!!
Happy birthday! I was thinking this morning that I would make fingerless mitts with the yarn I dyed and spun this weekend. How much yardage did you get from 4 oz.? Thanks - I'm really new and still trying to figure this all out!
Happy belated birthday. Found you on the Twisted Knitters and wish I had found you earlier so I could encourage you to put more twist in your Rambouillet singles, but you probably did!
Later!
Hey there girl,
Welcome to the 40's club. Wish I could have been there for your birthday but we already had plans. I tried to leave early, but it went too long. We will celebrate soon though.
Hey, I visited your etsy shop today. I really like your fabrics. Maybe I will buy some for Kayla. She has started sewing again. Actually she is teaching a younger child.
Love you. Mia
Happy Birthday!
I'm your Funky Scarf Swap partner.
I'm mailing the scarf to you today, so you should receive it in a few days! I hope you like it!
