Balance
It’s a nice little Karmic twist, actually. So, you know how I ended up with four skeins of extra yarn that I didn’t really need? Well, they cost just about the same amount as a WooLee Winder bobbin. Like the ones you see here.
There are two because I had ordered an extra bobbin for my Majacraft back in July, but it didn’t come and it didn’t come. I sent a couple e-mails to Nathan, but didn’t hear anything, but still, I was patient. For six months. Then, last week, I sent him another e-mail basically begging just to hear from him–if he was truly that backed-up making bobbins, fine, but tell me! He apparently felt so badly for me that he not only got my bobbin out in the mail to me pronto, but it brought along a friend. Wasn’t that nice?
Needless to say, my Little Gem is very excited about this. I know I am! And, that’s two nice things that have come in the mail this week, which is even better. And the fact that the money kind of balances out between the unneeded yarn and the bonus bobbin makes my checkbook feel a little happier, too.
And, here–a pre-haircut look at my hair. To give that girl from November what little credit she deserves, she at least didn’t butcher it. She added so LITTLE shape to it, that they layers are nice and long, which will give the (hopefully competent) stylist on Saturday room to maneuver. The shortest layer (if you can call them layers) that I’ve got comes past my chin, so it’s not like she’s going to be trying to salvage some sort of style from a couple inches of hair. Really, she’ll basically get to start from scratch.
And, jeez, my hair looks so DARK!
Now, today’s old-time reminiscing from the early-blog-days? The arrival of my Lendrum. My Brooks Farm shawl. And my tribute to Katy and to our two Dachshunds.

Oh, that was very nice! And really, if you hadn’t purchased the extra, you would’ve run out. You know that!
Oh, and if I ever get tomorrow’s post written, it’ll reference your comments post.
Aw, that was really nice! But too bad you had to wait.
Crossing fingers for you on Saturday!
True confession: I looked at the title, the photo of the bobbins, and the photo of your hair and wondered… is that S-twist? Clearly I’ve been spinning too much lately.
Looks like th wait was worth it. That was nice of Nathan to send the extra bobbin. Good luck with hair cut on Saturday. I think your hair looks good as it is, but then it’s not on my head so it’s easy for me to say.
I absolutely love your Brooks Farm shawl. Such a simple, effective design–perfect for that yarn. I have to find out about the pattern… off to dig through the archives.
There really wasn’t much of a pattern–I just made it up as I went along. Basic triangle, shaped by adding four stitches every other row until it was a decent size, and then finishing it off with a lace border. That was it!
Good luck tomorrow!

That was very nice of him to send you two!
