Oooppsss!!

Sorry for the lack of pictures here.  I deleted the albums on my google account and that is where all my blog pictures are kept.  I will try to put some back up.  Meanwhile, I'm still spinning but I did finish one shawl.

Needles:  Size 5 circular
Yarn:  Fulcrum Wool Company Limited Staywise Wool Cashmere in Red
Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sabrina-8

This is JulieSpins 80% Merino 20% Silk in the color Great Barrier Reef.  There was lots of blue and now its got some yellow and green.

 

 

On the spindle is Loop! bump called Magic Trick.

 

 



More of the Same

I've been quiet due to spending most of my free time spinning.  I have 2 yarns done and starting another 2.

 

This is my Woolgathering July 2013 Adventure Club fiber.  I got 269 yards of 16 WPI (about sport weight).

 



 

This was a Into The Whirled bag of Odds and Ends bag.  I got 204 yards of 18 WPI (sport weight).

I started my Magic Trick Loop! bump on the spindle.  I'm into the pink now.

On the Minispinner is my JulieSpins 80% Merino & 20% Silk Great Barrier Reef fiber.  I hope to spin one more JulieSpins fiber before the end of Tour De Fleece on Jul 26th.  Wish me luck!

Sorry For the Lack of Posts









 

 

Tour De Fleece has kept me busy.  I even brought my spindle with me to a trip so I could start spinning!

 

On my spindle which is customized with my name on top.  You can get one from here:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HeavenlyHandspinning  I have Odds and Ends from Into the Whirled on the spindle.  I try to get two bundles done.  I'll be plying it on the mini spinner though.  It's hard to ply on a spindle.

On the mini spinner is Woolgathering.  It's 40/40/20 Merino/SW Merino/Silk and the color is the Adventure Club Jul 2013.

I also got some yarn today.  This is to re knit the too small felted slippers.  They were suppose to be for my Father-in-law's birthday (which is coming up soon).  Now I have to re knit and re felt them.

 



 

 

I couldn't stop myself from getting this special self striping yarn.  I have some but its an orange and pink.  They will become socks for me.

Tour De Fleece 2015!

Here is a picture of 3 of the braids I hope to spin.  It's a Loop Batt and then 2 JulieSpins braids.  The other two were already to go on the Mini Spinner and on the spindle.  Tour De Fleece will run Jul 4 to Jul 26.  I hope to spin at least 2 hours a day between the spindle and the spinner.

 

 



 

This was Day 1, Jul 4th.  I took my spindle with me when we went out of town to watch fireworks.  I got a couple of the little bundles of odds and ends done.  I plan to ply it with the Mini Spinner when its all spun up.  It's harder to ply on the spindle.  This is Into The Whirled bag of Odds and Ends.



 





 





 

This is my Day 2 Jul 5 so far.  I started my Woolgather July 2013 Adventure Club fiber.  I got a good start.  Back to spinning!

 

 

 





Felted Too Much!



These were suppose to be Men's size 9 but they got too felted and ended up being Child size 12 or 13.

These were suppose to be Woman's size 8 or 9 but these ended up being Child size 9 or 10.

I Can Almost See The End!



I'm on the edge of this shawl.  It's only 4 rows but you only pick up 2 stitches.  I don't want to tell you how many stitches are on there right now.  I'm excited to finish this since I started this shawl in 2013.  I have a few projects still WIP from 2013 because that is when I was working part time and I had no time to work on my knitting & spinning.

Needle:  Size 5 circular
