Making Monday: Snickerdoodles

Today I'm making snickerdoodles, which I've been craving for ever now! I used the recipe from this blog.

And may I say, They are delicious!

WIP Wednesday, and a Little More

   This week is the second week of the Ravellenics/Winter Olympics and I haven't worked on my projects very much at all. I got a custom order that needed to be done so the Ravellenic projects kind of got put on the back burner. But I do have some progress to show compared to last Wednesday.  First up are the Wood Elves Gloves by Christelle Nihoul in Claudia's Hand Painted Yarns Fingering weight "Peony" on size US 1(2.25mm) needles,  the fingers I'm doing on 2's just to make sure they'll fit right. Yes, I know my ball is falling apart, I'll re-ball it when I start glove number 2.

   This is the fiber I am spinning for the Ravellenics, it's Nurturing Fibres "Seashell" 100% Falkland. I've already finished 2 skeins, 93 yds and 82 yds, both Navajo Plied. All that is left is the small bit you see here, and hopefully, maybe, probably not, I will finish it by Sunday. We'll see, I really need to work on the custom order.

 
   You've heard me talk about it plenty now, this is the custom order. It's going to be a super long fingerless mitt, just as requested in RHSS "Bikini" to match a scarf. It's being knit on size 5 needles. The picture is kind of blurry because my camera didn't exactly know what to do with all of the colors together, but you can see it in the ball.

   This is a new sweater I cast on, Buttony Sweater by Katie Marcus knit in Purl Essence Rainbow Classics "Bright Pink" it's a little pinker in person, but it's not a bright pink like they say it is. It is a bulky weight though, so it's zoom zooming! It's being knit on size 9 needles. I really liked the photos on the pattern page and wanted one for myself, so what better to do with the yarn my brother gave me for Christmas than knit a sweater!

   Now for the "and a little more" part, I bought some fabric this past weekend and some coordinating thread to sew some project bags, which I will be selling! Let me know if you'd like one ;) One style will be Pink Zebra with a black bottom half and white interior, the other will be white zebra with a black bottom half and white interior. I will post a picture when I whip one up this weekend!

Here is my progress from yesterday. All that is on the spindle was spun yesterday.

And here is the skein I finished last week, 93yd of a Navajo ply (to keep the colors together)
