Found
June 21st, 2007 at 9:25 am (Random babbling, Spinning, Works in progress)
I got an email from the processor saying that my two missing fleeces had been found. Hooray! The other two arrived the other day and they are gorgeous - if the other two are as gorgeous as the ones I already have in hand, I’m going to be very happy.
I just need to finish up what’s on the wheel before I can start this, though. Wish I could pull the wheel out during the day, but Arlo is still not to be trusted around the wheel.
I finished up a pair of socks yesterday and wound up a new ball of yarn. I thought it was so pretty I took a picture:
Wool/nylon blend from Scout’s Swag in the Green Bay colorway
I’m giving the Monkey pattern a go with this. So far, so good. I’m only through one pattern repeat, though, so we’ll see if it keeps looking good as I go along.
I think we’re heading off to pick strawberries later, so I should round these two up and pack up a snack bag so they don’t eat all the strawberries before they get into the bucket. Should be fun!

I’m so glad your fleeces were found? Did she tell you where they were?
I wish I could bend over, so I could go strawberry picking.

You will love the Monkey pattern. I love the Green Bay colorway, even if it is Green Bay!!

Lovely yarn - although it’s becoming obvious that I’m going to be the last person on the planet to try the Monkey socks!

Hip hip hooray for finding the fleece! Now you have more fiber than you know what to do with.
I heard the monkey socks go quick, quick, quick. I would be tempted to sit around and enjoy that wound yarn though - so pretty!

I LOVE the Monkey Sock Pattern! I love it so much that I have hosted TWO Monkey Sock Swaps! It is really a fun pattern to knit and goes quickly because you feel like you have to do a whole pattern repeat before putting it down.

It sounds like you’re having a lovely summer so far–knitting while the kids play, picking strawberries…. I’m jealous!
I’m very behind on my blog reading but your socks from the last post turned out great and I love the colors of this ball of yarn. Have a happy 4th and enjoy your newly found fleeces when they arrive.
