Moving on...

Thanks for all the kind comments on yesterday's post. I especially appreciated all the hugs as my faith in humanity had fallen a few notches... I should have been prepared for a little negativity I guess, but I wasn't expecting it and it tore me up. So, I had a good cry and went to my knit group last night to relax and clear my head... And things started to look up again. 

Charisa brought in some old magazines to de-stash, and one of them was one I've been keeping my eye out for. Then Tuulia brought me a beautiful skein of handspun yarn to make into something to sell.

I didn't know what to say. It's gorgeous. 

And then this morning I found a ladybug on my basket.

Ladybugs are a symbol of good luck in the adoption community - how cool is that? 

The ball of yarn in the above picture is a skein of Lambs Pride Superwash that is currently being knit up as an Oh Honey hat. 

It uses an Estonian cast-on and has a lovely unique stitch pattern. I'm really enjoying working on it, although I think I may rip it and start over to make the ribbing a bit tighter. I just started the hat this morning so it looks like it'll finish up very quickly.  Now Evelyn's down for a nap and I think I'll work on some spinning.
