Wool Gathering

So in response to Sam buying a spinning wheel, I may have wool to spin with it. My loverly bestest best guy buddy, Mathew, who works on a farm where they have sheep is going to see about getting me some wool. This means Sam and I get some spinning experience before we start attempting llama wool.

I am ashamed to say that I have been a very lazy knitter. I haven't even started on my Harry Potter project, simply because I have no yarn, and no money at the moment to buy yarn. Can I just say I hate gas prices? So I am seriously considering making a shirt that says "Hogwarts Dropout" just so I have something to wear. Unfortunately Mare has just informed me that it's a sweatervest or bust. Looking through some of the Weasley sweater patterns, they're becoming a very real possiblility.

Ok, now that I have updated everybody on my new yarn possiblilies. OH! I could spin the yarn and dye it grey for my sweater! YES!

Lol... I don't think our first attempts at spinning yarn will be even enough for a sweater vest... Maybe a Weasley sweater though...
Hey, if you want, I can just buy the yarn for both of us after I get my next paycheck and then you can pay me back whenever. Let me know so I can start looking around again for cheap yarn. Maybe we can get lucky on eBay...

I hosestly wouldn't mind wearing a "Hogwarts dropout" shirt. It's Mur that wants a sweater vest. She says we also need to go shopping for tie material. But as far as a Weasley sweater I have more than enough white or off white to make one.
