Almost-not-quite-done

Posted on October 6, 2015 by wonkydonkey

When I’ve finished knitting a project, I’ll say, “I’m done!” and the Mr. will point to the dangling yarns and say, “What about those?” He has a point. I can’t claim to be done if the item still has ends to … Continue reading →

Back at it

Posted on October 2, 2015 by wonkydonkey

Knitting! Hurrah! My finger feels pretty good and I’m able to knit with abandon once more. I’m using up some excess handspun, working up a pair of fingerless mitts.

There’s a rainbow on my head

Posted on March 17, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I spun this up ages ago. A couple years, probably, though I can’t find it in my Flickr account to verify. It’s Dicentra Designs and I just could not walk away from the rainbow cheerfulness. It’s been my eye-candy on … Continue reading →

Posted on January 19, 2015 by wonkydonkey

The weather this weekend was perfect for staying indoors; it rained pretty much the whole weekend, but that was OK because our new stove was delivered on Saturday! This is our first new stove, and we are so excited! It took … Continue reading →

Spun

Posted on January 13, 2015 by wonkydonkey

Saturday’s spinning project is done and dry; approximately 169 yards of heavy worsted. My Navajo ply skills aren’t fantastic so it’s not the smoothest, but still very usable yarn. Should be enough for a simple hat.
