I gave you a glimpse of this lovely stuff just before the move on Friday, but felt you should have another look.

This is the merino/tencel blend from the Spunky Eclectic club in September. I wanted to spin it immediately, but managed to restrain myself, don’t ask me how. It was the first time I’d spun tencel, so it’s not as perfectly drafted as I might wish, but, gosh. It sure is pretty to look at. And look how it reflects the light from the camera flash!

Remember a week or two ago, I mentioned the Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm and its CSA share for wool? It’s the very first fiber-based CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group, and … is anybody surprised? It’s got its own Ravelry group now. (The CSA shares are sold out, but you can still get some of their wool on Etsy. I’m glad I caved and opted in while there was still time–Martha’s Vineyard cormo . . . drool. I’d feel guiltier about it, but, well it’s drool-worthy AND I just helped make sure those sheep and goats have hay for the winter. CSA is a good thing!)

Hey, Chappy says that he knows it’s not him, but that you should go watch this video of several rather cute Boykin Spaniels. (His words, not mine.) I mean, of course Chappy is cuter, but these boys are cute–and the video’s pretty entertaining, set to music, and everything. I have already reassured Chappy, though, that he is definitely still the cutest (grin).

And, is it just me, or does this Bookchase game look like fun?
