The box goes forth!

The box for my Spinning/Roving Swap secret pal is ready to go! If all goes well, it should begin its journey west tomorrow. I'll take a picture of the contents before I seal it up tomorrow, but since I blew it and she knows who I am, I can't post it until after I know she's gotten the box. I don't want to spoil the surprise! Likewise, I don't want to say too much about my field trip to procure the fiber. More on that later, too.

I will say that my very sweet manchild gave me a little present to put in the box for my sp's little boy. Awwww, isn't he just the sweetest kid? And speaking of the manchild, I spent some of the evening teaching him how to spin. Talk about a duck taking to water! Once it's set I'll take a photo of his first yarn. He's really good! Way better than my first attempt was. Of course, he did have an excellent teacher...

You must live near me! This is Flan from the Spinning/Roving swap who shops at Detta;s. I'm a new blogger (with my best friend in Alabama), and I live in St Paul and love Borealis Yarns.

Hooray! I'm so excited to discover a local knitting/spinning blogger!

Flan,
Great to hear from you! It's always fun to make connections with someone local. There is another blog I read, "The Heathen Housewife," that's also written by a local woman.

Have you ever attended one of Northern Lights Handspinners Guild meetings? I've gone once and it was just me and the leader!
