Will knit for Fiber


Got a great deal going for me, a local sheep rancher/spinner would like to have some handknit items from her own herd, but she is not much of a knitter. Let me do it for you I will knit for fiber. So now I am on my 3rd pair of socks and we have plans for possibly 1 cardigan and 1 pullover sweater. Not a bad deal for either of us I think.
I also have new neighbors my oldest step-daughter and her husband. They are both great, love having them around. The best news is that I think I might get her hooked on knitting, can you imagine she thought it was just for little old ladys! Well after looking at a ton of hip, exciting and a few goth blogs she figured out that women her age are very good knitters and designers. I am hoping that this will open up some awesome possibilities. You see I am well spastic, unorganized, and distracted, she is (useing her own words) OCD, very organized and methodical. What a combanation I think it may be an amazing colaboration, I think I have some great ideas for some sexy stuff and she has the smarts to make it happen. I love it. We will have to wait and see if she loves it or not. No matter what I love haveing her as a neighbor.
Yesterday we started our new adventure in dyeing yarn, we started with some of my handspun yarns and today we are going to do a few science projects. See she is so smart what I saw as just playing around with yarn she can turn it into a science project with notes and everything. I love it. I will get pics of our new yarns on here soon. Hope someone reads this and finds it slightly interesting.
