More with that “knitting” thing you all talk about.
I’m giving blogging a go today, even tho bloglines is terribly hysterical.
I know it isn’t just me, so I feel less like a lunatic. If I’ve missed something important of yours, I’m sorry. Not everyone is showing up when they update & bloglines is randomly deciding who has posted 10 times in 5 minutes!! (The first day it started happening, I really thought everyone was going post crazy!)
Things have been busy here, with a side of crazy. (So, normal.)
I’ve been dyeing a bit, spinning a bit & knitting a bit.
Last time I wrote, I had mentioned some FOs.
Shorty socks (that took way too long!)
US size 3s with hand dyed sport weight.(80% wool, 20% nylon)
and since I have issues with project monogamy,
Hemp head
I had put a brim (or 3!) on this one, but wound up ripping it off, each & every time.
US size 8 & 10.5,
Double moss stitch with ribbing
Handspun, bulky+ weight, 60% wool, 40% hemp!
It’s pretty squishy, how I wanted it, hence the double moss stitch.
Since I’m on the subject of FOs I thought I would share Rock star Kay Stanton’s Fo’s with my yarn.
They are for sale over on Pancake Meow.
It is fun seeing my yarn worked up, especially this color shifting one
Time for more coffee, getting eldest off to school & start winding yarn for Friday’s shop update. (I learned my lesson 2 weeks ago, having to wake up at Way Too Early O’clock to wind yarn (and wind, and wind, and wind.)

I love the socks!!

hi there, thanks for the comment on my blog.
i LOVE your stuff.
i SO want to learn to spin, and I’m thinking I need some of your roving and a spindle. I have a Babe spindle, but maybe yours would be better because it’s heavier?
Any tips for a newbie?

Love the hat - love the yarn. Is it just me or it is hat season? I have been on a mad hatter kick! But I want to do them in the most lush materials. No plain wool for me - I made a hat for my 8 year old nephew that is Alpaca (brown) and Tussah top silk (green) - so it looks camo like. After I was wearing it around the house, I thought - you idiot - he is 8 years old. Make him one in cheap wool that he can roll around in the sand in. Even better - go buy some of that by the pound yarn at Wallie World and make it out of that so his mom can wash it a zillion times. So yes, I am keeping the hat. I am an idiot.
Happy Thursday - got a ton to do before survivor!
