Dogs Steal Yarn

What's that trying to jump the Louet line?

Why it's fantastically beautiful 100% Australian wool top, all ready for spinning. I'm enjoying the natural merino I've got on the wheel at the moment, but the Louet has been asking for color. Really. My Australian Fiber Godmother saved the day (yet again), as I'm afraid the Louet was ready to go out on strike. You want a better look, yes?

Alison is way too good to me. I love it when people are way too good to me.

Song of the day? "Modesto Is Not That Sweet" by The Hold Steady. You can buy it on iTunes, if you're so inclined. I have an unseemly schoolgirl crush on Craig Finn. He's the singer, lyricist. Go look at his pictures on the site, and at French Kiss Records, (Ooh--watch the video! Click on the word "dirty" and then choose big or bigger. I recommend BIGGER.) but you probably won't understand the attraction until you've listened to the Hold Steady album and most of the Lifter Puller catalog for way too many hours at a time. Once you do that, though, you're doomed. Doomed. He will make you love him. Resistance is futile.

He's married. As am I. In some alternate Brooklyn universe, though, another me is riding her bike past his building really slow every day, hoping for a glimpse. In the real world he and I are both happily married AND he's friends with my Rock Star Ex-Boyfriend who hates me. There are, however, no impediments in the alternate Brooklyn universe. Ah Craig Finn, the socks I would knit for you...
