Happy 4th of July! (and a yarn acquisition)

I got to take a trip to Webs in Northampton, MA on Saturday. It was everything everyone says and more. I was almost too overwhelmed to buy anything...almost.


I got 4 skeins of Noro Kureyon to make a Booga Bag, 2 skeins of Cascade 220 to make some sort of felted bag, a bag full of Filatura de Crosa 501 to make SOMETHING (it's a really pretty raspberry color and a bag of Dazzle ladder yarn for my mom to make a shawl out of. Can't wait to go back.









I won an eBay auction for this cute basket of roving and the drop spindle last week. I can't wait to try it out as soon as I can find a way to get my "helpers" out of the house.








Last, but not least, here's a progress pic of the Clapotis I started on Friday in the Sahara SW Trading Bamboo. I'm almost done with the increase section. I'll try to get one with better contrast next time, but I like the way the colors are coming out so far.
