Excellent treats! I especially love that colorful roving. I have the same sort of gut response to gorgeous fiber that I have to beautiful organic produce from the Farmers Market (only stronger).

I am not allowing my socks to read your blog lest they start getting ideas that I must let them run around free to have fun. They are simple stockinette socks they shouldn't be getting any grandiose thoughts, like those uppity lace socks of yours!

The roving is gorgeous. Don't worry I'm positive I heard you say you had no other projects...really.

I think you should carry around that GORGEOUS twilight yarn around with you as a Fiber Friend. Its gorgeous. (You wouldn't be the first - I had a coworker once who, upon seeing the glorious wonder that was Touch Me, bought a skein to keep on her desk and just touch....oddly enough, in deep blue)

Ohhh... sometimes, I really wish I had an interactive computer monitor. I'd pet and pet that beautiful, soft purple-blue yarn. You should talk to it; maybe it wants to be a lovely, lovely collar to caress your face on top of an equally lovely sweater?

That's a darn lucky little sock. You remember... the sock? earlier in the post? lace in the dark? negotiations? Ringin' any bells?

Gorgeous stuff, though. I can see how a snooty lace sock with a bit of attitude might be given a time out to think about it...

How is it that you manage to get birthday things several weeks after your birthday?

Seriously, I want to know. I can start planning now for November.

You owe me, since I now have some cheap acryllic critter-knitting yarn that is whining that it wouldn't mind getting wet at all, so when am I going to take it on the log ride?

You lucky, lucky harlot! What GOREGOUS fiber!!

{Although, I'm thinking if you wore the tank-of-mango-wickedness around to a few sheep fests, you'd get plenty of roving thrown at you in tribute :) But I'm naughty like that...}

I'm putting shoes on right now. I don't want my toes to go into the same depression that happened last time they saw those socks with Laurie's yarn. Yikes. Lucky girl!!

Off to knitting group I go!

Can't wait to see what happens with the new roving...

Uh.... Laurie.... My birthday is coming up on July 15th...

I hardly feel worthy to even look at a jpg of that roving! How does she know how much is enough for two socks?!?!

Does this mean we will get to see the Harlot try out some navajo plying? (Isn't that what it was called?) ooooohh! I can't wait!

Gasp! Utter gorgeousness. Glad yesterday was such a rousing success! I'm off to Vegas to show Kate a similarly good time. Woohoo!

Oh, such lovely fibery goodness! It's (almost) enough to make me wish I had a wheel.

Two socks I'm making for my mother were lucky enough to go to a play this week, but they're a bit cross, since each one only got to see half of the play. Since they are made of weird stretchy "Fixation" yarn, they should count their blessings!

You know, Touch of Twist vends at Rhinebeck.

Yes, I know that I am evil.

Although, were you to actually go to Rhinebeck, you just might explode. And that would be messy.

Oh Yeah, I know exactly what that beautiful roving is and I'm sooooo envious.

Happy belated birthday.

What other projects? I mean, the tank is DONE, sister, just hand it over to some girl working a corner, and you'll be free to be really happy, the kind of happiness that comes from roving....and as far as the socks, geez, they get to go lots of cool places. Can I be your socks when I grow up?

Knitting lace in the dark is one thing, but don't ever try to knit lace in a little puddle jumper plane during turbulence. Been there, tried that.

I am very much looking forward to how you work that floriferous batt, because I have one not entirely unlike it from Indigo Moon that a friend bought for me at Maine Fiber Frolic (there's apiture of it on my June 14th post) and proto-spinner that I am, I have been looking for inspiration on how to proceed. What better mentor that you, dear harlot, so please get to it soon. I can't wait until Tuesday. (please spun some this Tuesday? pretty please?)

That's some LOVELY roving--WOW!

Wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your piece on family history in the current issue of SPIN OFF. Thanks for sharing your wonderful life and fab writing skills!
