Last call for free yarn! And, an update

Hello! Thank you so much for responding to my request for help! I have received so many thoughtful comments and great ideas. I want to let you know that the end of the contest draws near. All comments must be in by midnight tonight, and we will pick a random commenter, probably tomorrow evening. The mer-children can't wait!

The shop has been updated for the week with some fabulously soft rovings. I particularly like the bfl roving; it is so lustrous and soft. And not too compacted. Should spin into some wonderfully soft woolen-style yarn.



and finally, look at this extremely cool bug I found on my patio table. It looked like distressed metal; in fact, I went to pick it, thinking it was a hair barrette! And check out those beautiful eye spots. Any one know what this beauty is?

Yes, I know what that is. It is a giant bug that looks like a barrette.

(Pink stinks. Don't use pink.)

WOW Kate....cool looking bug and GORGEOUS roving. Sure makes me wish I knew how to spin. ;)

Ack! The roving is so lovely. I don't know how to spin-yet. Maybe it's high time I learned.

Your colors are stunning. Wow.
Would love to see Red and Black together more. Reds are awsome. Not a big fan of pink (only rose)

Drat, sorry I missed - I really need to figure out how to get non-dialup computer access during the weekends!

Hope you were able to get enough votes on schemes to decide on one (I rather liked the 4th photo, it looks dragon-fly-ish to me, and yes, I know I'm after the deadline, so no worries.)

Whee!
