Well I have finally got my wheel and am enjoying it thoroughly. I have also met many new people and learned a great deal. In fact this last weekend my dear daughter and I picked up a new spinning friend and her daughter and went to a wonderful class on silk. I had no idea you could do all that, it was amazing we made silk hankies and reeled silk. Don't ask me to explain all I can tell you is it was great and a lot of fun. My daughter really enjoyed it too, she had a lot to talk about at school on Monday.
The 2nd picture is of the 100% Merino that I have spun, I think it is destined to be a cardigan for a little girl. Having a very hard time finding a pattern though not many kids patterns out there. Lots of baby and toddler stuff but not much for ages 6-12. May have to take the tumble into design if I ever get up the courage. I have about 5 projects on needles right now and am trying to get the number down a bit. Made a cardigan (1st picture) for my prego sister and sent it off this morning hope she likes it, she is notoriously picky regarding clothing. Also working on a Tam for my daughter out of "A gathering of Lace" it is a soft pink kid merino, I think it will be beautiful. The "Hip Hop Coat" Winter '05 Interweave out of my own hand spun wool, back is almost complete. Others I will tell about in future entries. I will try to keep up this blog better in the future.
