The Return of Ponyo

So I am not completely dead I promise. School is kind of crazy and I may have bit off more than I can chew when it comes to clubs and such but I wouldn't change it for the world. I went home last weekend and caved, I finally brought Ponyo to college with me. My roommate looked at me like I was slightly crazy, which to be fair I probably am. But I just hated not being able to spin here. So now Ponyo is neatly tucked under my bed for those days when I get super stressed out and need a break. Yesterday I finished my first yarn in a really long time. It is from another braid I dyed myself and I love how it turned out.

Not the best picture and the colors are off but it has been less then sunny here lately. My measuring is kind of wonky here but it around 200 or so yards. I had some struggles plying it for some reason but in the end it turned out pretty cute. On another note my birthday was this past Tuesday and my parents both came up/over to see me (on different days) and I love my new shoes I got from my mom I doubt you want to see them, but one thing that I just have to show off is the new part to Ponyo. She got another makeover.

So the darker one is the original flyer that comes on a Kiwi, cute and all but terrible for pretty much everything minus singles. The lighter one is my new gift! It is the jumbo flyer for my Kiwi. I still need to stain it to match but seriously it is so perfect. I plied my new yarn on it and all four ounces fit! I am spinning some thick-thin on it now and I can not get over how much I love it. That is it for now, hopefully after midterms this coming week things will calm down so I can get to crafting more and doing homework less!
