Happy Birthday to Me.

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to Me.
huh?
That’s right, the time for celebration has arrived early here at Chez Swine. Christmas isn’t for a month or so and my birthday doesn’t arrive until January, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get presents!
My bff Mary sent me a combo bday/christmas gift and it arrived yesterday. Much sooner than she anticipated actually. That’s okay, it only makes it all the more surprising!
And you my dears will not believe your eyes. Mary was guided by a good friend of hers who is a spinner/weaver. She asked this sage women what would be an outrageous thing to get for a fellow spinner and this is what she said …..
how about a peek inside the bag
yeah, baby! that’s right – two ounces of Qiviut! I just about plotzed.
Mary ordered this from the University of Alaska Fairbanks Large Animal Research Station. It is raw fiber with some guard hairs mixed in, so I will be taking this along to my next guild meeting to see what the spinners recommend.
don’t you just love the holidays?

Your Crazy Internet “Friend”
OMG! You won the Knitter’s Lottery! I think you better call Cara.
Woohoo!! Very, very nice. Happy Birthmas!
Woot! Qiviut is amazing stuff isn’t it? Enjoy! Oh, and Happy, Merry, Ho Ho Ho and all that stuff… :)
What an awesome present… How is spinning on the hitch hiker? Do you think you will spin the quivet on it?
You are one lucky dog…er grrl….er swine;-)
It never hurts to start celebrating early–especially with Qiviut!!
you better not give that spinning away…unless it is to me. ;) fun today, as always.
Niiiiiiice. :) I wonder if it could be my birthday today too!! :)
It’s a wonderful gift! Enjoy spinning it!
Wow – that IS an amazing gift!
Wow, qiviut! I don’t even spin, but I’m still jealous.
Nice gift for whatever occasion, enjoy.
