Okay, I'll keep it short and to the point.....
Catching up:
Hubby's wool hunting socks (pair #6 )
River Rapids Socks (pair #7)
The "secret" knitting project. I knit a Prayer Shawl for my mom who is recovering from open heart surgery as well as dealing with the death of her husband. I can't be there right now, so I knit her a hug.
AND....
I couldn't put it off any longer. I have begun spinning! Like I have all this spare time, NOT!
This is the first of my spinning. A superwash merino wool.
Here it is plied, it's so nice and squishy, ready to be knit.
I just had to see how it would knit up, so I started knitting a 1x1 rib scarf (both sides look the same). Don't know if I'll keep going, or if I'll rip it out, find out how many yards I have, and look for something special to knit with this.
Yesterday I went and tried out a Babe Spinning Wheel. It is okay, just not the most attractive wheel. I've also thought of a HitchHiker, and just found Heavenly Handspinning wheels.
There is a fiber fair next weekend, so I'm hoping there will be used spinning wheels for sale or at least wheels I can try.
Too many decisions!
