I'm such a sucker for beige/tan/cream/straw.

Sorry for the emotional outburst. I just couldn't contain it any longer.

It's o.k FR, let it out. Better that than to explode.
It is lovely. I have no doubt you'll be finishing this one up really quickly.
Soft and fluffy.

No need to apologize, I agree that is some of your best work
The colors are absolutely beautiful. I cant wait to see the sweater when you get done with it.

It is this that inspires me. Im going to get a turkish drop spindle this month and give spinning another try.

Thank you Forerunner, my mind is spinning with the possibilities of what can be created with custom work!!

I believe you suffer from a case of "Fiber Induced Psychosis".

It's strange because the cause and the cure are the same.....more fiber!

Don't get me started on the prolonged euphoria that transcends all chemical and herbal imitations, even.....

Where is that little emoticon, obviously "suffering" the final throes of fiber-induced, comatose bliss?

Incidentally, I finished the sweater.
The cam is on vacation in the Appalacians for two weeks.

Just let me say...... there is little to compare to a 50 degree morning, tall cup of creamy coffee, a computer to peruse for a few before the day starts officially, all while dreamily "suffering" an overabundance of fluffy mohair and a pair of faded blue jeans.


Wind, I was considering using the roving, this trip, but decided against it when I realized that I had plenty of the lighter strands to get where I wanted to go......and just how those lighter strands were working together as a team .....for the sole purpose of intoxicating and throwing the knitter off his otherwise stern gaurd.

I did use that roving in another t-neck recently completed..... for the bottom ribbing, neck and cuffs. It certainly makes a statement, all it's own.
