I wanted to know if I spin a somewhat consistent yarn. (snort) Sometimes, I’m easily amused.
So, I thought if I took some of this Louet Northern Lights Roving I had, weighed it and divided it into three (I’m aiming for a three-ply fingering weight) equal (or as equal as I could get it) [...]

Funny that. Sorry, just having a melancholy moment.
Anyway, I’ve been keeping busy and I give you a picture heavy post to begin your week.
As you know, I finally received my Majacraft Suzie Pro. She spins like a dream! I dug out some Romney fibre I bought from Spunky Eclectic called bubblegum and [...]
OMG!

After waiting four solid months [and very patiently, I might add] it’s actually here! I still can’t believe it, but it is. It’s physically in my house. It’s here!!
Now I have to stop shaking so I can put her together. My Aberdeen.
Later…
Edit: Thanks Wannietta. Your wish is my command! [...]
It’s There Somewhere…

My knitting mojo, that is.
Its kinda like I forgot how to knit, if that is possible.
I pick it up, make a boo-boo.
I fix it, make another boo-boo.
I want my mojo back, Knitting Gods and Goddessess! So, fork it over. [me shaking fist at the ceiling]
After [...]

I spun up some of the superfine alpaca and I just love this fibre. Honestly, it just spins itself. It’s so dreamy.
I’m up to my neck on the Kauni cardigan. I can’t wait to finally start on the sleeves.
New Knitty is up!
Have a good one!
Today’s Confession: "Confidence is all well and go…

Today’s Confession: “Confidence is all well and good. Just remember that one needs to gain it beforehand, or else your outright cockiness can lead to an undesired reverse effect.”
So I got it in my head that since I’m doing quite well with my spinning, I can start planning a semi-large project of spinning wool [...]

I did it.
I spun fibre to meet my requirements!
I remade the earflap hat for my husband using 100% superwash merino fibre that I scored from the Black Lamb and it turned out lovely, if I do say so myself.
It’s soft…
It’s light…
It fits perfectly…
We’re both happy!
Now I’m off to weave [...]
