First off, I must look fiendish with the box…

for now, I am officially known as Fiber Fiend!

 

Siena wonders what on earth I am doing with this giant box…

So, I put her on top!

But she didn’t really like that, so I put her down.

Randall told me I should try lifting the box!

It was a really heavy box! (36 lb. of stuff inside!)

What are those 36 pounds of?  (And what smells so good on top of the piano?) I must open the box!

Aha!

Yarn!  A giant skein (3 lb.) and 3 cones (1 lb. each)!

Fiber!!!  (Am I looking fiendish again??)

 

30 pounds of Superwash Merino Roving!!!

Don’t you wish you could reach out and touch it?!  It’s soft.

 

So, if you couldn’t guess, I’m starting a business selling hand-dyed fiber and yarn, and original knitwear patterns.  I’ve spent the last month or two getting all the required permits and licenses, etc., and ordering fiber, yarn, and dye (and getting this website up and running!).  The box arrived about 2 weeks ago.  I started dyeing last weekend, so there should be a few items in the store soon, and hopefully a lot more in the next week or so.  If you’re interested, check it out.  If not, I’ll post a picture of my new sock tomorrow!  It’s my first toe-up sock, and I must say, I like doing toe-up so far.

    I don’t remember taking that photo with Siena on the box, but I guess I must have (by process of elimination — certainly couldn’t have been Lila or Mojo!)

    Congrats – I know I am a little late – but you crack me up. We are in about the same boat timing wise. I am just setting my website up this week…
    How did you like the tussah top? It is my absolute FAVORITE. I just want to dye it only – but alas, I am not made of money.
    Happy Tuesday
    Holly
