We have contact!

Last night I felt the baby move! It was so weird to feel, like a little tapping motion from inside! Very exciting!

I also suspect we are going through a growth spurt in there. Just in the past couple of days my middle has really started to “pop” and unless I’m wearing something very loose you can definately see that I’m preggers now. I’ve also been crazy tired for the past few days and eating a lot. I’d been feeling better for a few weeks, but this week its just been impossible to get anything done! Counting naps I’m sleeping about 11 hours a day! Really does make it hard to get anything done! And even when I am away I just don’t have any energy to get much done. The hard part about that is that I do have things like dyeing to do and its just been impossible to get it done. I’m hoping that this will clear up again in another day or two ao I can get things done again.

One of the few things I have been able to do is a little bit of spinning (low energy activity) so I’ve been working on a baby project. I’m spinning up some Merino Top in 2 oz sections, spinning the singles at about 50 wpi and I’ll be making a 3 ply yarn from these, my first attempt actually at doing a 3 ply. I plan to use this yarn to knit a wool diaper cover once I work out the pattern for them.

I’ve had several emails the past few days asking about when we will be offering the next Mystery Kit. To be quite honest, I haven’t had a chance to come up with a project for the next one yet. I have a few ideas I’m kicking around but haven’t really given it a lot of thought yet. I’m hoping to get this batch of dyeing done and then to take a few days to get things caught up on the website and perhaps even get the missing swatches filled in before I really move on to the next Mystery Kit. I hope to have selected the project and and done my calcultions for it to be able to put it on the site sometime between late January and early February, but we’ll have to see how things go . . .

Well, I really should go, the stomach is rumbling again and I have yarn to dye up after lunch . . .
