Houston, we have a problem!

This is the problem:


























I've some UFO's to confess. I know I've been bad - I've started project after project without a second thought. I've abandoned my socks, neglected the Samus, and even dumped intended Christmas scarves into the "catch-all" yarn basket. Here's the breakdown:

Partial "twilled rib" sock (forgotten after Socktoberfest)
One and 1/8 of "waving lace" socks (abandoned sometime in July I think)
One and 3/4 plain sock ( This one has been in the car)
One different plain sock ( I think I lost the rest of this yarn)
2 (yes 2) Stripey scarves (once I figured out Continental knitting I was done)
1 Samus Sleeve partially done (already frogged twice) *sob*
The very beginning of one mitten (I really like these)

I know you must be thinking I am a knitting failure. I mean, someone who can't even finish a silly pair of socks can hardly call herself a Knitter. (take note of the capital K) And TWO unfinished scarves? Scarves are beginners fodder - yet mine sit there looking more like elongated wash cloths. It's not all bad though. I have isolated the cause of this knitting disturbance and come to the conclusion that I might not really be a Knitter......


























I am a Spinner!!!!!!!!!! (note the Capital S)


This is my Kromski Minstrel. Many, many thanks to my husband for getting me such a beautiful birthday gift. I absolutely love it and have been spinning some really nice white merino. I bought myself a belated birthday gift of a few ounces of gray baby alpaca roving, and I can not wait to spin it!




















So what do you think? Any knitting in my future? Mmm, not for a while!
