Spinning Frenzy

   These last two days, I have been in a spinning frenzy... I finished spinning the singles of the Corriedale, Navajo plied it, washed, thwacked, and dyed it, and it's now drying. I got some more Alpaca in the mail today, so I started on that and have been spinning, spinning, and spinning. I am almost halfway through the first of the two batts I received. For the Corriedale, I got 85 yd of a Navajo Ply, lace-light fingering weight (16 WPI) here's a picture before I over dyed it.

Maybe, I'll get through the Alpaca tonight and get it plied tomorrow! Who knows!

As for knitting, I re-cast on my Cable Hugger and am almost back to the point where I ripped it out! I also purchased some fabric to make another Project Bag :) Well, of to sew I go!

WIP Wednesday

   This week, it is mostly sweater knitting. I have 2 sweaters on the needles for me that I have been working on, and a baby sweater that is should be working on, but need to tink back. I also am working on a cabled cell phone purse and the elf earwarmers. 

   I have been rapidly working on the many pieces of the cable hugger by Karima Sundarji in Red Heart Super Saver "Country Rose" on size 6 needles. I will say everything looks so tiny when it's not blocked out. But hopefully everything will come to size when I do block it. Project page

Fo Friday

This week I have 3 FOs, 2 of which I don't have a picture for because they are on their way to the recipients. First, I'll start with the non-photos. I finished my barter socks, plain vanilla socks with 7 in of rib on size 3 needles in 100% Romney wool.

I also finished a pair (1/20) of the elf earwarmers in Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn "Christmas Sparkle" on a size G hook.

Now for the one with a picture. I finished another rainbow slouching hat in Red Heart Super Saver "Bikini" on size 9 needles.

The Delayed Finishing

   Though I didn't have any FOs to share yesterday, I do have 2 projects that are so close to being done, they'll be off in the mail by the time next Friday rolls around the corner.  First off are the barter socks. I just need to do a total of 10" (12cm) 1x1 ribbing for the cuff(s). Remember, I'm adding another 3" to the completely finished sock so that, instead of A 4" cuff (a little taller than an anklet) it will be a 7" cuff for a more mid calf height. They are in 100% white Romney wool on size 3 DPN. I haven't worked on it since I turned the heel, but as soon as I finish the other project, which I am about to show, they will get finished.

WIP Wednesday

   This week, I have 3 active WIPs. All which have deadlines... *sigh* First, most active thing is the Striped Baby Sweater. I got the stripes to match perfect, which is what I was hoping for. This is on size 6 needles in Red Heart Super Saver "Light Raspberry" and "Soft White" This should be done soon, and since I'm a math wiz, I'm tech editing all of this myself. The pattern will need testers when it's done. Project Page
