kiln unloaded, spinning and knitting

the kiln spit these out this morning, there are 21 of them! they're about 3 inches across and will be given out at the next scc hunt as prizes... The clay is new for me and I am really in love with it. It's the yummiest black I've ever seen. The dog is Druid, I made a stamp and then mishima-ed the design on the black discs in an orange clay.

the sock.

This is the latest off the wheel. It's the Crown Mountain Superwash in colourway Moondance. I might use this for a pair of mittens, or maybe a big cabled scarf...

And really, how far is too far??? Yes, I knit my ipod a sock... I think I need help...

cheers, and happy knitting!

spinning barberpoles is addicting...

spinning this fiber is really addicting...
it's superwash merino crack.

finished Wild Thing sock above.


and this is Beat Goes On. The fiber is a bit lighter and more pastel than
I expected, but very yummy nonetheless. I spun the singles
with less twist than previously and the yarn is much, much softer.

I was worried that if I didn't put loads of twist into the singles
the yarn wouldn't hold together, but I didn't need to worry.

happy knitting,
m.
