J's spindle came today. I haven't opened the box, because he'll want to do that himself, but I'm very pleased that it actually got here so quickly. It took all of two days to arrive .. very quick shipping indeed. If he wants another one, I'll definitely go to them first. :)

I also took a nice trip to the library today, and checked out a bunch of knitting books. Some are just for reference, some are specifically for patterns. I really want to find a large stitch dictionary. I should look on half.com and ebay, I know, but I was really hoping just to find something through the library.
