Last Post of 2016!

Been busy cooking.  Always starting new project and trying to finish projects too.  I also won a $100 gift certificate giveaway by Backyard Fiberworks on Instagram!  I can't wait to get the yarn.


My last handspun yarn for the year.  I won't start another one till Jan 2017.


I love this pattern for wash clothes.  This is my second one and I have yarn enough for 2 more.  Great use of the cotton bon bons I got last Christmas.


Another Christmas ornament that uses the bon bon yarns.  Great small free pattern.



My hat.  I need to finish it before its 2017.  My third one from the same pattern.



My felted slippers!  I have to knit another pair for my daughter and then I hope I don't have to knit it again for a while.


My husband likes slippers.  This is his third pair.  Just in time since the last one had a hole that I covered and then the other slipper developed a hole too!

Apparently I Won Best Spinner Too!

I found out at the end of November that I won and today I got my gift certificate.  I hope I can use it before it expires!  This shop is 300 miles away and a 5 or 6 hour car trip.

Time is running out!

For the most part, I can't show you what I'm working on since its a test knit for a future KAL.  It's an interesting mixture of color and texture but I have to wait till the KAL is done before I can put up pictures.  Meanwhile this is what else I've been up to.



Still working on this purple fiber.  I think I'm more then half way through.  It's from Hobbledehoy.



I added this to my fiber stash.  Can't wai tto see how it spins up!


Added this fun yarn from The Fiber Seed.  It's fingering weight called Funfetti.  No, I don't have a pattern for it yet.


I finished a square for my patchwork triangle blanket!


I need to finish the second slipper and then felt them.


This is suppose to be a Christmas gift.  I have this chart and then the edging to do.


This is one of those vanilla socks with a self striping yarn for my sock collection.  These make great knitting projects to take while waiting for appointments.


Another vanilla sock pattern knitting from a sock blank for my daughter.  I LOVE how the colors are showing up.  You never know from the sock blank just how it will knit up.
