Came home with 9 library books, a loaf of herb slab from a local bakery, delicious looking green beans, and a bottle of pinot noir. Mmmm. <3
Dishes mostly done, roast seared and cooking away in the crock pot, and now I get to go to the library!
Went ahead and got a set of fine fiber cards and a spinning cotton kit with an indian supported spindle. Might as well keep up the videos!
Ooh, my Ecospun fiber just arrived. Fiber for spinning made from recycled water bottles. In related news, I might be buying cards soon.
Library day <3. Maybe I'll make another spinning video later too. Also, Tori Amos morning as I read the last of Contemporary Knitting.
