Mother's Day Haul

 

Daughter always sends me a Knit Picks gift certificate for Mother's Day and since they were having a sock yarn sale I turned it in for plenty of sock yarn. To use it all up I added some sock yarn fiber to dye and spin and a bag of stuffing for those critter stack pillows I intend to make. 

The details on the sock yarn are: Felici in Country Roads, on the left, Hawthorne in Kenton Multi and Hood River Tonal, Static in Bookhouse Boys and Stroll in Red Wing Blackbird. I think I see a pattern here and it's sure not summer colors. I'll have a lot to keep me busy come fall.

I did have some winding drama while I was winding up my Mother's Day gift to myself. That Miss Babs yarn in the MDSW colorway got stuck in the gears of the winder not once but twice. I had to break it in two places. There's 143 grams still left so it's not a catastrophe but it is annoying. I do believe it's user error. I need to slow down. 

And....if broken yarn wasn't bad enough, my swift broke in the middle of all that cursed winding. It took me a while to get it all sorted out but it's done.
