Fricken Awesome Fricke and a few FO's

I know I've been absent from blogging but I have been getting a lot of stuff done. AND....

My Fricken Awesome Fricke

I am now the proud owner of a Fricke Spinning Wheel. Woot!

When I first tried spinning at Yarn School I became very frustrated and almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't. Here is a pic of some yarn that I have spun with my new Fricke.

This picture does not do the colors justice at all. The wool I used was some of the "gift bag" stuff from Yarn School, handdyed by Sarah aka: Maisy Day Handspun

Besides spinning yarn I have also been busy finishing some of my knit projects.

Finished Objects

Woo hoo!! My sister's Malabrigo Clapotis is done (finally!) along with Perry's scarf and Farrell's hat. Below are pics of Farrell's hat. The pattern for it can be found here

A Farrel/Farrell Wonderland

Long story short....my dad is friends with Perry Farrell's older bro, Farrel. Last night we went to the Satellite Party concert to celebrate Farrel's birthday.

This is the group of us. Note: me sitting at the end of the table with the "Yarrrrrn" t-shirt. This is the coolest shirt ever which was a gift from djMars.





Birthday boy Farrel and his bro Perry.



Farrel and his skully birthday cake. How cool is a skully cake??




And now the obligatory Perry pic:

Perry and my little sis, Ber


A great time was had by all. I want to thank Farrel for letting us tag along to the festivities and wish him a super special birthday! I highly suggest everyone go and see Satellite Party when they are in town. They play their own stuff, Porno for Pyros and Jane's Addiction tunes. Woot! Apparently they are supposed to do a make up date for the St. Pete show. Maybe I'll make Perry a scarf before then. I'm thinking something in Tilli Tomas "Rock Star" or "Disco Lights" in the Atmosphere colorway. Ooooh.
