This is the first batch of fiber I’ve purchased to spin. Hubby looked at and asked me very seriously if this was blue….
Labeled as Dark Blue Faced Leicester from Great Britain -
Trying not to laugh, I explained that’s the name of the fiber and I think it has something to do with the type of animal it is from….
Yes, it’s brown! Not blue! But to give him the benefit of the doubt, he’s brown/green color blind – which is a real hoot at stop lights!

- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer.

However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words.
