Rinse and Repeat!

More samples for Backyard Fiber Works.  When I have samples to knit, I don't get much time for other knitting or spinning.


This is the Dot Shawl sample.  I ran out of the grey but just made the border bigger.  The pattern is here:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dot-shawl.  I plan to make the larger size with the yarn below.






This Spokes Baby Blanket should get to Alice today.  The pattern is here:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spokes-baby-blanket  Funny it was suppose to take the same amount of yarn of each color.  I had like 6 yards left of the white and like 1/2 a skein of the blue/green.  It takes according to the pattern 440 yards of worsted weight of 2 different colors.


Currently on the needles is an Everyday Shawl sample in a teal gradient.  Here is the pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/everyday-shawl  I had to makes some modifications to the pattern.  I did kfb & pfb instead of YO.  I slipped 1 stitch before the marker instead of 2.  Can't wait to get to the other colors!


Meanwhile I did finish spinning my 8 oz of Woolgather.  Here is a resting shot.  I need to start plying it.


I have one more sample to do after the Everyday Shawl and then hopefully is back to finishing WIP and not starting more of them. LOL!

Sample, Sample!

I seem to be working full time on samples for Backyard Fiberworks.  Here is the finished Spotlight.  Luckily, Alice likes to block and weave in ends.  Which is a good thing because I can wait over a year to do that. LOL!

Meanwhile I did finish this hat and started on a shawl.



http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/astrea-hat  I've made 4 of these hats.  I should know the pattern by now but manage to mess up with each one!



I've had the yarn wound up for this shawl for a long time.  JulieSpins Vera Fingering in Pansies and Ruby.  I haven't gotten tot he Ruby part yet. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/AtPlayWithFiber/carson



After 2 years, I'm finally getting somewhere with this shrug.  I've been watching Netflix at night and needed something simple to knit on in the dark and watching.  I had rows and rows of just knitting and purling.  Now I need to pick up stitches and knit the body.
