not all nicey nicey

when most people think of spinning and knitting they think of soft spoken grannies in rocking chairs in front of the fireplace. (hmmm - i think that's a pretty good description of me). but there is another group now. one with an edge. and i love that it's there. one of my first sources of yarn and fleece was from beth at whorlingtides in alabama - and my first skein of yarn i bought from her was called "sweeney tod" (you can just imagine the colours!). last week i got this roving from cloudlover9 (both have etsy shops). the names were "rotten"pumpkins" and "belledonna". irresistable...
