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!
This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

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.
