Oy! I had been wondering how you were...and now I see why I had been feeling irrationally concerned. :) so, please accept my good hopes for a fast and effective fix in the computer department. About all this, all I can say is thank goodness for knitting and spinning, without which, one might blow a gasket or two. On that note, I just put out a pattern on Rav, edited by Donna, that might be just right for using up relatively small bits of yarn (a skein or two) in lace to dk weight. It's called Sumpin and it might be good for using up sample yarn, if it is fine enough to wear at the neck. Just a thought, since i know you spend a lot of time exploring yarn and fiber one skein at a time. If you want a copy, let me know and I'll give you a present. It is the least I can do.

Thank you thank you for this vicarious fleece acquisition experience! I am grateful. Even your photos came at the right moment...we have no sewer line at present (more on my blog) and I have never needed to pretend it was me washing the fleece more than I do today!

Ahh, don't know what happened to my first post, but acidophilus is good for dog ear yeast....and Asher is another good word for happy in Hebrew after Sameach...Asher is a better name!

Yes please! I may not have time to knit from it but it looks delightful!
