Purple Pron

On the left, mostly wool, a bit more deep royal purple and less blue than it shows; in the middle, a delightful merino/silk blend; on the right, CrossPatch Creations blend of wools, silk and other yummy stuff. The cloud felt wonderful.
Ply ply ply ply ply, to the tune of Season 2 of Prime Suspect (two DVDs, 104 minutes each) and a little more. Abuse the yarn in water almost too hot for my asbestos hands, as cold as ice melt, then thwack severely. It puffed up about twice its size.

Yummmmy. It's lusciously soft, and even though the blend above right naturally made a rather lumpy yarn, it's still quite consistent, and of course plying hides a multitude of sins - though this yarn seems fairly sin-free to me...

Well my dear how are you doing???? Ears burning? well they should be you were the talk of the town last night,at S.n B. Why you ask, just that most beautiful necklace and ear rings that you made. They are even more beautiful in person. Which made me and Rachel think, that means everything you craft is more lovely in real life. We had a sad little moment because we want it all now. Dam bills. Dam grocery's. Your work is stunning. sigh. I hope your feeling better, and the best job in the world is coming your way soon. I want so much for you to go to SOAR this year. Go for a scholarship if it looks like can't see yourself making it. Thats why their there. kiss kiss for now . Love your dennyxooxoxo
