spinning, knitting, and...



I love this stuff. It was a bit slow to spin, but is amazing to touch... It's half merino and half silk from Crown Mountain Farms. It's one ply in Chantefleur and one ply in Primrose. It's going to be big wrappish scarf thing...


I finally finished a sweater! Its' Fleece Artist Mohair garter stitch jacket, colour Nova Scotia. It was very easy and fun to knit... (the model is Virginia and she's lived with me 22 years. I haven't been able to get her to look for a job and move out on her own...)

This is a ball of alpaca/merino/silk from Susan's Spinning Bunny. It's ridiculously luscious and soft...

This is an earflap hat with some Targhee also from Susan's Spinning Bunny. This stuff is fiber-crack! and they ought to be ashamed of themselves for talking my money and feeding my addiction. I am powerless.


And this lovely hunk of yarn is the Make Waves Stole from Fleece Artist by way of Tidal Brook Yarns. Super soft, it's mohair and alpaca and yummy and snuggly and I must hide it from the doggies...

peace, and happy spinning, knitting, or whatever,
