Look at the spindle now!
I have gained some confidence with this thing, and I think I am doing some good stuff here. I am looking forward to going to the lys tonight for some practice on the wheel. Told Wonderful Guy to fend for himself, dinner-wise, so I am all about the spinning wheel tonight! I think if I can get a quite a bit on a spool, maybe I can ply it with what I have on my spindle, and have a real knittable hank of yarn. Last Friday’s class resulted in some decent plying of some less than decent spinning – not something I am going to knit up. More like something I will use for the ‘see my first spinning attempt’ photo.
Also last night, I finished Grandbebe Girl’s ‘Maple Seed Hat’ (ahknits). Now she will have a hat to match Grandmama’s scarf! I also finished the grafting for a dishcloth that has been sitting around for a week or so. Feels good to finish up some odd and ends.
Next, I continue to work on ‘Alison’s Scarf’ (modeknit). And I will start into another ball of dishcloth yarn. Have to have that going….what can I say? (Note: I received an email from my step-mother-in-law yesterday telling me she has started to use the dishcloths I gave her for Christmas, and how much she likes them. That’s fun, and …ooh, I do like that approval!)
And I need to start something new…whatever shall it be? Something different and challenging, something that doesn’t need a purchase of yarn. Maybe a Forest Canopy shawl out of the green Crème I bought at Woolen Treasures? (I didn’t say I couldn’t purchase a pattern!) Maybe I should attempt my 1st pair of socks? Hmmmm…..what to do? I need to check my resources (read: Ravelry and/or books at home).
And now for something completely different. I received notice yesterday that I was, indeed, a winner in the Crazy Aunt Purl sweepstakes! The Cheetos and books (all autographed and everything) and stuff were being mailed out this week. I am one lucky pants girl, ya’ll!
