Look at the fun I had this weekend with my new toys. I had a few skeins that needed to be winded into neat little balls, including Charles' yarn (still haven't decided on a lace pattern for it). That's about the only exercise I had this weekend, except for a dip in the pool.Speaking of dip in the pool, I think you'll agree that Sophie has recovered well from her broken toes...

Sophie looks great!!!! She looks having fun with surfing board!! Is she like water? I guess it's hot water in Canada. In CA over 105D today!! Too hot to knit and waiting for to cool down!!!! hehe
Anyway..It's great to see my yarn into ball..Thank You so much!!!
Wow! You sure have enough for several project! I can't wait to see what you decide. Have you thought about doing the Candle Flame Shawl from KnitPicks? You have the yarn for it. :-)
Lucky Sophie! She has a pool for hot Summer days!
Charles: Yes it was very hot in Toronto this weekend: 98 degrees! Sophie usually likes water, and she didn't seem to mind surfing either.
Jason: Candle Flame seems a bit more ambitious than I am willing to in my first lacing project. I'd be content with a pattern that is less than 8 rows that repeat, and with lots of knit and purl. Hmmmm sounds like Violets? ;)
You should definitely do "Violets". It's smallish but with lots of interesting things going on. The honeybees are challenging and fun! :-)
Yay!! Im so glad Sophie didnt waste any time getting better... she looks soo cute!!
I'm glad Sophie is enjoying the cool waters again! And your yarns are simply delicious. Do you always wind them up before you knit?
Thanks Roadside!
Elisabetha: Usually I would roll them into balls, by hand. I got tired of doing that (and envious of Kenny's gadgets), and got my own winder. If I would have been as smart as Charles, I would have looked on e-bay first: he paid $15 US for his!
