Looks like someone needs to join the Spinning Wheel! I think my GB would like your Yarn Widow booth...

Could you annex on a soundproof plexiglass booth where we could park the little people? (My kids, not the Oompah-Loompahs!) My DH would be all over the Yarn Widower booth.

I can't keep secrets at all. Once you shear these little guys, you can make a kick ass sweater. The hair on their backs is really thick and lush. Ew, now I've gone an grossed myself out.

I've always been afraid of anything short in stature that might provoke someone into making a comparison between me and said strange thing. Of course, I hate Ewoks, too. ;) If Jon sets up his Yarn Widower booth for next year, I'm sure I'll be able to get my boyfriend to go! Great haul, though - I'm quite (read extremely) jealous.

Thanks! I made it pretty thick first the for the first try. That's what I knitted the swatch with. I just don't know how strong it will be that way. I started a new batch that's much thinner so I can ply it with another strand. It's fun, but if you do it for too long, you can end up with a sore shoulder. Lynn, it's nice to meet a fellow fan of A Touch of Twist! They really are nice people and their yarn is just amazing. I just love everything about it. Unfortunately, they don’t have a website yet, but you can order stuff over the phone. You can also request a color card to make shopping easier. Their number is 518-864-5885. Just order two of everything and you’ll be fine! Melanie! I can't believe you PEEKED! Of all the . . . well, now I don't know if you deserve the Oompah Loompahs. Hmph! Actually, I can't wait until you take them, they're leaving droppings all over the house. :) Lauren, yes, this is my firt attempt. Thanks! I made it pretty thick first the for the first try.
