That title is just a sneaky way of saying “I don’t have time to write a full post tonight, but I need to post something before things get out of hand.”
So without further ado:
I got a drum carder for my birthday. This is the Louet Jr. and it is fantastic. Love Love Love it. I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a drum carder, the batts are huge and light and fluffy, and you can card an unreal amount of fiber at one time. Wonderful to spin from.

The girl-y sweater is proceeding nicely. I hate the green which ended up being very neon, but it will hopefully mellow out a bit when I get all the flowers embroidered on. It should be finished by Monday- with a complete post.
I knit a Ribwarmer (here on Ravelry) The girly sweater was driving me batty, mindless garter stitch therapy was in order. This is an end of 2 years gift for one of Nikolai’s preschool teachers – she is slightly shorter and thicker than I am, so it should fit well.
My dad and I went golfing with the boys today. It was their first time playing on a real course, and they had a blast. Above is Nikolai with his impeccable form – consistently driving the ball upwards of 70 yards.
Below is Gabriel, who hasn’t much technique yet – but he sure had fun!
How fun for you and the boys. The ribwarmer looks great. I”m sure she’ll love it. And the sweater…sure came along fast. I like the colors…but then again I dress my little girl from Hanna Andersson a lot. Enjoy your Sunday.
The drum carder is such a great gift – I’ll have to remember that when my birthday rolls around! The sweater is just too cute, and thanks for the link for the ribwarmer – added to queue.
first of all, i just love looking at pics of the boys. we will see them again in june. secondly, who is greta, besides being one lucky little girl? and, as usual, you works are truly works of art. love to you all.
Shorter than you?! Wow, that takes some doing. ;P
Beautiful work, as usual! You always make me re-think my hatred of garter stitch.
You are really getting into the spinning! Fantastic! So have you started selling your yarn yet? I’ll be a customer!
Lovely knits! I’m amazed at your boys. Golfing and me don’t mix.
That is a really nice-looking rib warmer. I have the video and I’m planning to start as soon as my garter stitch want-to recovers after the panel jacket and a moderne blanket.
