FO Friday

I'm writing this post on Wednesday, but you won't see it until Friday. This week, I finished my the Joyful Sheep "Superhero" at 449 yards, 2 ply, the grist came out to be about a sport weight, but at 1,796 yards per pound, I would call it more of a heavy fingering weight.

I also finished my mom's Socks on a Plane in Knit Picks Stroll "Cobblestone Heather" on size 1(2.25mm) needles.

As of Sunday, I won't be on the blog for at least a week, I'll be in the Caribbean on a cruise boat :) I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to post when I get back! 

WIP Wednesday

This week, I've only really worked on one project that is still not finished. I started my first pair of Cuff down socks and am actually really enjoying it! It's in a variegated handspun on size 1(2.25mm) needles I still have about 1 1/2" of leg to knit then I'll do my very first heel flap and gusset.

I'm also reading Passion by Lauren Kate, it's the third book in the Fallen series and I'm really enjoying it!

That's all I have for this week! Check out Tami's Amis for more! :)

WIP Wednesday

   This week has been focused on trying to finish wips. Which means that I'll have some things to post for FO Friday! First up, Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman in Knit Picks Stroll "Cobblestone Heather" on size 1(2.25mm) needles. I finished the first sock last week, and I'm almost done with the second.

   The only other thing I'm working on right now is my the Joyful Sheep "Superhero"

Teaming up with Tami's Amis this week, check out her blog for more WIP Wednesday posts!

Bread Baking and WIP Wednesday and other stuff

This week, I meant to post for Knit and Crochet Blog Week, but I never got around to it... but, I did get around to finally making some bread! I've been planning to make some for weeks now. Tonight I made two loaves of honey white bread from this recipe.It turned out really, really delicious!!

I'm also getting some knitting done, I have a whole sock!! I've sock... but a sock nonetheless! It's Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman in Knit Picks Stroll "Cobblestone Heather" on size 1(2.25mm) needles. I'll cast on the other sock tomorrow.

I'll also be casting on another pair of socks for my barter partner, just plain vanilla socks on size 1(2.25mm) needles. The yarn looks like this (see photo below), I believe it's her handspun, handdyed yarn! I love working with it. This is the last pair I made her out of the yarn, and I will be doing the exact same this time around too. Except that I am going to try cuff down magic loop instead of toe up at least once..

I've been working on the Hana  Hou to this week, it's being knit in my handspun, the joyful sheep "zebra" on size 6(4mm) needles. This is the right front...

I also cast on a Honey Cowl in Cartoon Simply Soft "Gray Heather" on size 8(5mm) needles for my aunt.

I'm doing some spinning, trying to finish up projects that I started, but only spin half of the fiber, my the joyful sheep "superhero" being one of them, I pulled out out to spin on.

I got a few things in the mail this week, on of the things being this awesome giveaway prize from the Knowledge of Water blog! I've already used the mail polish, lip balm, and the buttons! 

This gorgeous piece of fluff is from my barter partner, it's my "payment" for making the socks :) I can't wait to spin it!

You haven't seen Molly for a good while, so I thought I'd show you a picture! She's gotten so big!

Oh! And some other news!!! On June 1-8 I'll be cruise around Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica for my 16th birthday! My birthday isn't until September, but I get to take the cruise in 18 days!!! This boarding pass was for our previous room, we upgrade to a corner balcony room! :)

So this post didn't get out until today, Thursday, but I had a lot to share and didn't get around to typing it all up yesterday! The bread making was done yesterday though! :)

WIP Wednesday

This week has been dedicated to mainly gift knitting! I'm knitting some Socks on a Plane in Knit Picks Stroll "Cobblestone Heather" on size 1(2.25mm) needles for my Mom for Mother's Day. If course, she may not get them on Mother's day, but they are her mother's day gift. I turned the heel on Monday!

Also, I cast on a Honey Cowl as a gift :) I'm knitting it in Caron Simply Soft "Gray Heather" on size 8 needles. The pattern is so quick and easy, it's great mindless knitting!

 I'm also doing some behind the scenes knitting, but I can't share it just yet! But I have been spinning some! Not nearly as much as last week, but still, I've been spinning! I'm spinning the Joyful Sheep "Superhero" on my drop spindle. I still have quite a bit of fiber to go, so I don't see it being done too soon.

FO Friday

   This week,I have been on a huge spinning kick! I finished the last chunk of my Nurturing Fibres "Seashell", which was my Ravellenics projects. The top skein is 93 yards, the middle is 82 yards. I finished the bottom skein this week, which came out to be 88 yards, n-ply, and my grist (yards per pound) came out to be a DK weight.

I also finished the last 2 oz of my FiberQuirks "Blueberry Pie and Coffee" (Bottom 2 skeins) for the Stitched-Together SAL. I got a total of 369 yards, the top skein is 177 yards, the middle skein is 152 yards and the bottom skein is 40 yards. They were all 2 ply, from a plying ball and my grist (yards per pound) came out to be a sport weight. 

That's all I have for FO Friday this week! I'll hopefully have more for you next week! Check out Tami's Amis blog for more FO Friday posts!
