One More Time

Posted by Iron Needles at 4:58 PM

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.

  • Welcome...

    ...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.
