Yo-Yos Galore!

December 27th and still no lace.  My time to work on this sweater is getting down to the wire, since my dear friend's birthday is December 29th... I've searched in all of the usual suspect areas and ruled out the main floor.  That leaves - gulp - upstairs.   If worse comes to worse, I can push delivery to our New Year's Eve party, but how tacky would that be? 

In the meantime, I have to share the yo-yo inspiration that our Kelly sent last night. 

Have you ever seen a more beautiful burst of color on a pillow?  I love how she has the whole gamut of chakra colors swirling together.  Here's a close-up that gives you a much better detail of how the yo-yos were made.  My lace rosette pictures can't show this kind of definition.  She says that she mainly used batik fabric and varied the yoyo sizes.

Here's my favorite part of her note:

• I was thinking that jokingly my comment on your blog was to say that yo-yos are still cool but in reality I think the message is that I'm an old lady doing old lady crafts  (from the 80's). Oh well, it's still fun.

Thank you, Kelly!!!  Long live the yo-yo!
