ECF…
…the one with all the enhancement.
Stash enhancement, that is. ;o)
When Risa arrived on Friday, the second thing she did (after admiring my peonies – Tina, you can stop giggling now – and laughing at my dogs) was throw yarn at me. I know!
This yarn began as roving I gave to her a couple of months ago, never expecting to see it again. Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s a true three-ply and the first she’s ever done. How lucky am I? ;o)
Next up are the fest acquisitions:
The above was purchased at Massachusetts S&W (if you click after the whole page loads, you can click through all the photos on this post like a slideshow). From left to right: Wool Peddler BFL in “Barnwood”, Wool Peddler Merino in “Enchanted”, Spunky Eclectic Superwash Merino in “Rocky Mountain High” and Spunky Eclectic Panda (Merino/Bamboo) in “Potluck”. I bought one more Spunky Panda hank-o-roving but since I’m spinning it already (on Emma), my living room is a cave and the sun has disappeared, I couldn’t take a picture of that one yet.
I didn’t mention in my last post that I took Risa to visit Colorful Stitches on Friday. I also neglected to mention that some yarn happened to jump into my bag while I was there:
Madelinetosh and Lacey Lamb. So pretty…even prettier is the hostess gift from Tamara of Spincerely Yours:
It freaking sparkles, how cool is that? ;o) (she made it, even. If you follow that link to her Etsy shop up there ^ odds are good you can get some of your own…)

























The Madelinetosh is gorgeous!
Are you sure you’re supposed to knit the Lacey Lamb? Doesn’t look much thicker than thread.
*that* is her first 3 ply, WOW, just gorgeous!
Nice new friends to play in the stash. MAS&W is great for that.

I’m glad you liked the yarn. I thought I’d surprise you with it. Now that I’ve done the true 3 ply, I’m going to have to do more. Nice stash enhancement overall!
