Another Project Finally Done!!

Needle:  Size 4 circular
Yarn:  Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in The Watering Hole
Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/building-a-reef
This took me almost 2 years to finished and I ran out of yarn!  Luckily I was able to get another skein of the same color.  The yarn was a prize for finishing Camp Loopy.  The color was close but lighter.

Almost Done!

More then half way through my 10.4 oz of JulieSpins 60% Alpaca/20%Merino/20%Silk in the colorway Jerome.  I hope I have enough room for all of it on this bobbin.  I hate splitting into two bobbins.

My sample knit was done in 7 days!  I can't post pictures till the pattern is up.

Another Sample Knit

Since I can't show pictures of the sample knit (its a shawl), here is a picture of the yarn I was paid.  It's not really my color but I'm interested in trying out the yarn.

Kitty Socks FINALLY Done

Needle:  Size 0 circulars
Yarn:  Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids and Quatro Colors in bark,  Purple Hyacinth and Tutu
Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/critter-socks

Now I have to make the bird socks in purple.  I hope they don't take me over 2 years like these ones.  Knitting for big feet in fingering weight takes a LONG time.  I had to tink back because her feet grew.

Another Big Spin

Here is the start of another big fiber spin.  I have 10.4 oz of JulieSpins 60% Alpaca/20%Merino/20%Silk in the colorway Jerome.  It's mostly brown but I can't wait to see how it spins up!

Can't Help It!

I really need to be finishing up projects and not starting new ones.  I found this free pattern that would be great for my luxury handspun yarn that is 200 yards or less.  It's hard to find a nice pattern that needs less then 400 yards for a shawl.  I don't care for shawlettes.  I do so love knitting with my handspun.

Needle:  Size 6 circular
Yarn:  PS baby alpaca/superfine merino roving TLS ROSE HIP JELLY, PS BFL Silk Bellissima, JulieSpins Roving: 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon Silver Maple and  

PS handcarded mixed fibre batts Bella

40/40/20 Merino/SW Merino/Silk

I finished this yesterday.  I was surprised how it came out.  I guess I was expecting more white.  Below is a picture of the fiber.  I got 397 yards of 26 WPI.  A light fingering weight.
