One More Time
Happy New Year, and time for new starts and re-starts and start overs...
And here I am in all my starting over glory. So where do I start? I believe I will just begin again where I am at.
I have a new header up there. I received a new wide-angle lens for Christmas and am learning all the ins and outs of fun landscape photography. I swear I can capture all the mountains from New Mexico to Wyoming! The Guy and I will have to travel to all the places we have already been to so I can take new and better and wider photos.
I made yarn today. Well, not just today. I actually finished it up today, setting the twist, and took photos, too, which really has to be some sort of record. While I was piddling around the house, taking down Christmas decor (yes, I am on top of all sorts of things here) I noticed the sun shining on the drying hanks of yarn, and saw the opportunity for some photo art.
Behold.
Blue Yarn (top from Tracy Bunkers, merino/bamboo/nylon, 422 yds, 22 wpi)
and Pink Yarn (top from Lampspun, merino/bamboo/glitz, 237 yds, 12 wpi)
The blue I am very proud of. 4 oz of top spun fine enough for socks, I do believe. Sweet.
In other news, I knit like a crazy woman for Christmas, finishing up felting the last bag on Christmas morning. So it was a little damp...but I will save that for another post.
I wouldn't want to over do it.
