I've just learned how to wind a ball of yarn on a nostepinne. I've done center pull balls for a long while by hand, but always had tangles when using. This is my second attempt on the nostepinne and I'm really pleased with how it came out. This time I went for the square corners so it's less likely to roll. :) As you can see, my nostepinne is a fancy one--a wooden spoon with a fat handle.

Bruno thinks that my new yarn is his new yarn. You should have seen him glare at me when I made him give it back.

Et voila! My new shawl project is finished: Traveling Woman in medium with Lorna's Laces fingering in the colorway Twilight.

My latest knit project--here's a shrug to make my little blue dress a little less little! It was a fun knit, but I had some issues with the finishing. But, it's done and beautiful now.

My son's new hair cut. I knew that this day would come.

Before with a pony tail, his usual style, and then down.






What came off:
