While I wait for my spinning wheel, I have been passing the time on my non-public knitting projects and my spindle spinning. I'm pleased to say that my tencel/merino blend yarn turned out every bit as lovely as I hoped.
Here it is looking rather unassuming on top of my laundry hamper.
It's about a sport weight, two ply, spun on my 0.9 ounce Golding Tsunami
It's fairly balanced, with only a single twist in it after removing it from my niddy noddy.
But check out how much better she looks basking in a little ray of sunshine.
I actually had the skein on my desk and I had already downloaded a bunch of pictures I had taken earlier. I saw the way the sun glinted off the yarn and just had to take this second picture.
And because she makes my heart melt, here's a little picture of Panda napping near me while I work.
It doesn't get much cuter than that.

What is it about that cute curly up position that makes me go all maternal? I can't resist my pups when they do that either. Fortunatly one of them loves it when I come over to her and completely envelop her in my arms and kiss kiss kiss her forehead when she is like that. I just can't help myself.
Most pups smell like fritos. Especially the tops of their heads and their paws.
Did I just admit to smelling my dogs' feet?

I love the way dogs smell when they've been sleeping... or is it just my dog that smells faintly of cornchips?

Lovely yarn! It could be a shiny little handbag. Or maybe a set of I-cord bracelets. Just idle thoughts.
Panda is, as always, adorable.

I love how that roving worked up. Gorgeous. And next to Caia, Panda is the cutest pup I know.
