some handspun and STR

The amazing beauty of anything Blue Moon!!!!

This is STR, colour Covelite, and I love it so much I ordered enough of the heavyweight STR to make a sweater... ;-)

The purples and coppers are unbelievable...



this is Blue Moon's Blue Faced Leicester in colour Carbon Dating. It's about 200 yards and I have more to spin up, so I think it's going to be a poncho in the convertible lace stitch from knitty.com.

And this is some merino painted by Heike, plied with a green romeldale cross fibre from Reflection Farm. Both are very yummy and I'm tickled with them together... don't know what it'll be, but I think I have enough for a shawl.

peace, and happy knitting and spinning!

And good luck to our friend Cindi who's taking the bar exam!

Chapman Springs STR

here's STR's Chapman Springs colourway. The sock has a jaywalker
top and a plain foot... I think this is my favourite colourway yet!

When did my Anna get so gray???

And Druid, trying to absorb some sun in the morning
peace, and happy knitting,
