Something blue
Second sockitis set in last night, and I just HAD to knit something other than the grey sock… so I dipped into my bag of bagged projects* and pulled out this lovely skein of merino / tencel that I spun … Continue reading
Linen stitch
A little bit of kismet in action in this yarn / project pairing. I spun this up right after getting my WooLee Winder. I was learning, and so it’s a little under-spun, with thick and thin bits. But it’s soft … Continue reading

Going for a little spin
The yarn I spun while at the cabin last weekend is all done. I ended up with about 450 yards from the 4-ounce braid; that means the yarn is around a fingering weight. It should be fairly stripe-y — though … Continue reading
I told you so
The Hitchhiker is just lovely, like a watercolor seascape. Nineteen points done, mostly while listening to the rain and streaming an X-Files marathon and studiously ignoring the mopping (though I did sweep). It appears I never posted a final picture … Continue reading
