Look what my Secret Pal sent:

It's handspun in a lovely bright colorway called Slimey, after Oscar the Grouch's wormy friend. Plus, she had sent me a gift certificate a few weeks back too. Thanks, Secret Pal!
I've finished the yarn for my Spin-to-Knit pal. I can't show you that, but I can show you this:

After what seemed like ages of being good and spinning thin, I cut loose. This is about 7 oz of single ply spun up from a couple of superwash merino/mohair batts from
miss_babs' Ebay shop:

I threw caution to the wind, barely predrafting the fiber and spinning pretty carelessly. There are parts where I let the twist travel
*way* too far into the fiber mass (it was practically sideways so I guess I was accidentally spinning from the fold he he he!). It's slubby and inconsistant and I like it!
I need to get back to knitting Jersey Girl's present, since that birthday's coming up. More on that project soon...
What fabulous skeins! I'm dying to see what you sent your pal - especially after seeing the gorgeous green/blue you've spun. I'm so curious! (Good thing I'm not a cat, eh?)
