A few things

Wednesday, 18 November 2009 10:24 A GMT-05
A Stephen West design, Boneyard Shawl.  Knit in vintage sock yarns, the green varigated some leftovers from a friend's project.  I love blocking - this turned out the perfect size!  I wear it backwards, cowboy-style, with my coats.

Below, a scarf in double moss stitch for the Red Scarf Project.  I've *got* to mail this soon!

Three-ply fingering weight yarn, spindled by myself & plied on the wheel.  I love this skein!  Shows patience I usually seem to lack.  :o)  I'm thinking to make gloves with this.
 
3ply handspun
 
Holiday knitting has emerged from a back corner of my mind recently . . . there's really not much time left for it, but I may try one or two things anyway.  It's good to have purpose in one's free time, eh?  That, and planning for Thanksgiving dinner . . . I have to clear my 'work table' for that.  Ppppt!

Shawl happy

Long time, no blogging.  I often intend to make a quick entry, then spend so much time in these sticky webs of the world-wide variety, I tire myself!  Lately I've been trying to waste spend less time surfing, more time knitting.  Managed to get another shawl finished in this way (in addition to the one I didn't but meant to post about last month) . . .

 Pin by me, too.  Polymer clay.  Colorful "Simple Yet Effective" shawl I knit last month --

 There.  Quick entry.  Whew!

hand spun yarn, green & toast
 
Blends of wool, to the left (toasty color) is half cotton - a tricksy thing to spindle - the green are llama & wool. 
All spindle-spun & plied.
 
Because the cat likes it that way.  I have a hard time resisting the cat.

I've finally finished my little summer cardi, with just a bit of excitement as to whether the yarn would hold out. . . now I'm feeling very inspired to finish a whole lot of things!  We'll see how many sets of needles I can free of their bonds.

I'm loving it!

Ply on the Fly

Monday, 20 July 2009 9:27 A GMT-05

Strikes me as appropriate for the Tour de Fleece =)  So here's my entry for the past week, spindled in odd moments and chain plied.  Why can't I spell the other name for that ply this morning?  I think I may need the *big* coffee mug today. . .

yellow skein

A view from one of my habitual perches, too -- see the little black sheep on top of the TV?  Cute, no?  I heart that wee sheepie.  Big pile of yellow roving in the foreground, purchased from Imagiknit in Gaylord last Monday.  Oh, my little Suzy is in the shot, too, you can just see her bobbins.  I think I'll have to spend a little more time with Suz, a little less with the 'puter.
