Sorry about the wait. But I got in full "OMG Yule/Christmas is only a handful of days away! I have to get to knitting!" mode. I still have 4 hats that needs to be knit. One will take me a few days to do. One needs to be done in 2 days and the other 2 needs to be done by the 23rd. I am not a fast knitter. I am lucky to get one hat a day made. lol
It also doesn't help when you have already knit TONS of hats in the last few months and most are from the same pattern. UGH lol
So I promised you some Roving Porn! I am still waiting on some more to get to me but this is what I have for right now. All the roving shown today is from TimetoKnit over at Etsy. I have not used any of the roving yet as I still have all 4 bobbins tied up at the moment. But I do plan getting to them soon!! Everything is Merino Top.
3 1/2 ounces
4 ounces
3 5/8 ounces
As you can see I got me some wonderful colors! My nana decided to buy me some roving for Yule. I was over at her house working on my cousins computer when she said "get you something for Yule." So I rushed to Etsy and got these! I am sooo excited. Thanks for such great deals and for GREAT colors! One thing tho....name them! lol I think the Pink and Black should be something like Punk Pig or something like that! lol
Well I guess I need to get something to eat then get back to my knitting. As soon as my roving from Betzi comes in I will be sure to share that to! She is a good friend of mine and she helped me out with some colors that I wanted to put together! I am VERY excited!
Thanks for stoping by my blog! Have a wonderful day and don't forget to leave a comment!
P.S.
Since KnitWitch posted animals I will post THE only picture that I have gotten of wildlife here.

That first roving (the pink and black one) would make a fabulous scarf (or dare I say hat) for your favorite Mary Kay salesperson! :)
(Not me, but I am making a scarf in similar colorways for a co-worker who used to be my MK lady.)
I have only used MK once in my life. I payed like $10 for a tube of lipstick,just your plain kind,I used it and my lips swelled up. :( But I got my refund and I never tryed the stuff again.
Maybe it was a fluke or maybe they use stuff like Burt's Bees.
Have you heard of this before?
That roving is my favorite! I hate pink but I love it if it is mixed with black! I do not know what I will make with it. But I would like to make something that I can use year round.
I LOVE (love love love) the multi-colored roving. Will you name your Etsy source? Thanks!!!
Shannon I got all that roving from TimetoKnit at Etsy.

She does have great stuff. :)
Your welcome!
Lovely roving! :)
Can't wait to see what you spin with that lovely roving! :-)
that's the prettiest roving I ever saw!!!
Thank you Lina,Samsara & cici!
I am working on the Pink and Black one right now. So far so good!
I tried to google up some wisdom for ya on the swollen lips and only learned that ingedients like cinnamon, menthol, and even cayenne pepper are frequently added to lipsticks for that sexy beesting effect. Whodathunk?
I LOVE your rovings! Can't wait to see pictures of yarn and FOs. :D
Hey thanks for the shout out about my fibers!! I'd love to see what you do with them :)
