Needing A Break

…from the ongoing never-ending projects. Actually, good progress is being made on both quilting and garter stitch fronts, but still. A change-up is a good thing.

And the promise of another alpaca fleece has given impetus to get the fleece from last May completely spun.

And Dearest Sister has mentioned her one pair of handknit socks, which she didn’t think she would like, is wearing thin, and she will be needing another pair. I think she needs some alpaca socks.

And it feels good.
I like to spin.

I have started the last color on the MLCB. There are two skeins to be knitted, then the edge, which I am planning on using some of my first handspun.


It might just bring out the variety of colors wonderfully. Or horribly. In which case, the bridge will be crossed then.

The GBII quilt is approaching half done. I am always amazed at how a quilt starts looking so...quiltish when one gets some...quilting on it.

In other news, Middle Daughter called today from the Docs. Held her phone up to the machine thingey, and guess what? I heard the Grand-Bean's heartbeat. How about that?!

That's such interesting (and pretty) yarn! I'd love to see how that knits up.

I never said I didn't think I would like handknit socks - I said that I might not wear them for fear of wearing them out and not be able to cast aside something that someone knitted for me! And my fear came true!! Now I have to learn to darn socks!!

I love this yarn! Subtle colors and great spinning. Photos, please, when it's knit up!

I love that yarn! I love how the colors are just delicately showing themselves through the overall color. Super pretty!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
