Over 1000 yards!?!?! Yikes! It’s gorgeous, though. But … YIKES!!

Lovely photo. Did you bully someone into getting a blog, too? ;^)
I love the green yarn! I like the road rage, too, but that green!
Happy Friday, my Opal!

If yarn actually made me moist, the grass definitely would!
*Hugs*

Sometimes pictures speak more than words :) Gorgeousness all around!
December 12th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Wow.. Beautiful colors, the yarn and that photo.

Stunning yarns…and sunset!
December 12th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
You’re giving me that gorgeous green yarn? Oh…thank you so much :)
December 12th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Goodness grace, your spinning is beautiful!
December 12th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I do not have the right words for how lovely that Grass is.
December 12th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

December 12th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
This is gorgeous!

Gorgeous spinning!
December 13th, 2008 at 3:49 am
The photo is gorgeous – - wow! I love the green handspun – it looks so silky. You really do gorgeous yarn….
December 13th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Oh the Grass is perfectly splendid! It may have given you a hard time, but boy-oh-boy, did you ever triumph in the end! The Road Rage is interesting but I can’t think what I might do with asphalt colored yarn.. knit a parking lot? Heheh…

Gorgeous green yarn! I’m not into greens, so that is saying something. The other is beautiful, too, but that green really jumped out at me.
December 13th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Whoa! Gorgeous green…
December 13th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
That is one gorgeous sunset. 1005 yards of lace weight !?! My mouth dropped open, it is very beautiful. I can’t even imagine how long it took to ply and I hope you have a Woolee Winder on one of your wheels. Your Road Rage handspun is more my speed these days, very pretty, too.
December 13th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Beautiful yarn and beautiful pictures. Who could ask for more? The merino tencel looks wonderful even though it was difficult to ply.

What’s that saying? “A picture is worth a thousand words,”
The yarn is beautiful. So is Silas’ photo!
December 14th, 2008 at 7:14 am
The spinning is amazing, hon…Road Rage? Hm. Where did that name come from?
LOVE the last photo, not sure how you were able to get it, but it’s stunning.
(((Hugs)))

1000yds, 2ply? dude, you are insane! :) but both of them are so so so pretty!
December 15th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Oh that lace is beautiful!
December 15th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Ooh, I’m diggin’ the green. Are you going to bring it on Thursday for show and tell? I’d love to see it.

Gorgeous work as usual!! Those big skeins are a big pain when the plying happens. I feel your pain!!
