I forgot to share.

What with the Ravelympics and the furious knitting I forgot to share the beautiful new spindle purchase and some new Merino roving.

First off, I bought a beautiful new hand crafted spindle from here. Kevin is great and delivers a very fast and efficient service, I ordered it on August 15th and it arrived the next day.
It's 39g and spins beautifully.

Next I bought some beautiful Merino from Kraft Mania, this stuff is so soft I can't help but fondle it. I got 100g of each colour (soft lilac and purple), going to see if I can make a nice variegated yarn. I'm having a real purple phase at the moment and all the yarns and fibres I'm attracted to seem to be in the purple family.

Just hope I can do the roving some justice and get hours of pleasure from my new spindle.
