I am not going to fool myself into thinking that I can update everything that has happened in the last 2 months. I've spun some, knit some, played some, and worked lots. I don't have any pictures today, but will post them at some point. (maybe....)
garden plot dress |
- Garden plot dress - frogged (I didn't like the way the yarn looked. It wasn't even and though it draped beautifully, I wasn't happy with it.
- Asterope Shawl by Romi - On my! lovely, lovely lovely! I'm really looking forward to knitting the other shawls from her book "7 Small Shawls"
- New socks! - One complete plain vanilla pair for me and in the process of making a pair of "Blueberry Waffle Socks" for Marcie. (a la Meghan from "Stitch It!")
- Mary Jane - done and done! I have worn this so many times since completing it. LOVE IT! Made out of Berroco vintage DK
- Spinning! - spun up some awesome superwash BFL in a colorway I'm happily calling "Citrus Sherbet". I also bought some batts when we went to Mystic, CT for a short trip in April. Right now I'm working with a blend of merino and sari recycled silk and nylon bits. Its main colors are a purplish pink and seafoam-y green. The silk and nylon bits are every color under the sun. I'm spinning it very fine on my spindle and I can't wait to ply it up.
OK - and now my BIG BIG news!
I BOUGHT A WHEEL!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
It is an Ashford Scholar M2 and should be here next week all the way from Washington State! I am so excited! I've been on cloud nine all day!
I'll be sure to update when the wheel comes in and I attempt to spin on it for the first time. Should be interesting to say the least. I'm just happy to have it just in time for summer!
I'm so glad you haven't abandoned the blog. And hooray on the wheel! If you need help just give a yell.
