Testing...


My very awesome friend, Kami, spins yarn. Like, she uses an actual spinning wheel and fiber from actual animals. If you had asked me six months ago, I would have told you that that was utter ridiculousness. 
Today I am telling you that as I type, I have a spinning wheel on it's way to me (for my birthday). 

The reason this is relevant: Kami spun the yarn that these armwarmers were made out of. The pattern for these armwarmers is not actually published yet.
 I was contacted by the designer and asked to test knit the pattern. They are SO comfy and super cute.
 And completely superfluous here in Florida. Especially this time of year.
I guess I'll put them in my "Christmas Presents" stash. Don't you wish you were on my list?
