Farewell goodies:

Here's the card I got from my co-workers. Isn't it cute?



I particularly like the Yo-Yo-Ba-a-a... sheep. I've been recently knitting in my husband's office while he's working until late, and we both listen to Bach's cello sonatas, interpreted by, you guessed, Yo-Yo Ma.



Let me show you what I got with my gift certificate:

And I spent the rest of my gift certificate on wool roving:




I'm enjoying my soy silk spinning a lot, but when I'm done I'll dye this wool and then spin it. I did not know spinning could be so addictive. Here's my soy silk so far:




I thought about getting a better spindle with my gift certificate, but this dowel+CD spindle is good enough for me.


Finally, this is me wearing the top I made for my mother in-law.

I'm sure going to miss the people at my previous job, but I'm very excited about the new one.
