I got my first shipment of the Top Of The Month Club today, for the month of May. I normally get the packages in my mailbox, but when we returned from Lisbon on Saturday our mailbox was stuffed! The mailman must be skilled at Tetris, because there was not an inch in our box that wasn't filled with letters or packages. So I stopped by the postoffice today and got my club fiber. Let me present to you, Spring In My Heart:
I love it! Spring was well on the way in Lisbon, and even though it has started here in Norway, it's been a couple rainy, gloomy days. I needed this injection of spring-color.
I've already started spinning it. I chose to split the top in three pieces, so the colors were like they had been in the pot together, if that makes sense. Then I split each of these three lengthwise into four pieces. So I've got twelve stripes to spin now.
I bundle them up while they're waiting to be spun. I want to get the stripes to repeat, so I'm making mini-skeins out of these. Each bundle will become one single, and then I'll 2-ply them into 6 small skeins. I'm thinking these will become finger less mittens during Stash Dash.
