She needs a name, but I'll let her mommie name her. I should probably make her a coat since she'll be headed to Norway at the end of the summer. For now, all she has is this summery dress.

Now that Andy is here with the handy-dandy-camera-doo-dad, I can show some of the pictures I took over the last few months! Turns out, though, that most of the pictures are pretty dull or are of my Mom painting, washing dishes, or flipping me off for taking pictures of her while she's painting or washing dishes. Most, but not all. So, without further ado...

Here is some of the green roving this all started with. (I took this photo today to make the story more complete.) Doesn't it look like a big, green intestine?



After I spun some green and some white, I plied the two single strands together. Here I am plying. I'm not sure how it's really supposed to be done, but whatever we did (Mom helped, too!), it seems to have worked.



And here is the finished product.



I started making a scarf with it. Andy wanted to know why I took the photo with tent stakes in it. For you knitters, those are size 35 needles. I tried some smaller needles, but the results were too ... well... it would have taken way too much yarn to make a scarf.



I need to spin a bunch more, and maybe I'll have a new scarf for winter!
