Oh my goodness! I have been remiss in keeping my little blog updated!
We have had The Sick at our house for the last three weeks . Upper respiratory nastiness at it's worst . I am coming out from the fog , the children are slowly getting better and hubby and daughter have escaped thus far!
I've been doing a lot of knitting . I have quite a few ideas percolating too.
My latest accomplishment is a cowl for which I made my own pattern! I never dreamed I would be able to do so ; it's a good feeling! I am working on a pair of matching arm warmers . The set will be great for those chilly days that don't quite need a coat. I did an afterthought thumb on the arm warmer(s). I have one finished as far as the thumb . It knit up very quickly.
I sold another little hat! It's going to be hard to build an inventory this way! I don't mind having such a problem, however.
I'm doing a little drop spindling again. It felt a bit awkward after being away from it for so long, but it came back pretty fast. This braid is a variegation of pinks and plums . I'm eager to see how it all spins and plies . I have to finish spinning a green batt and I haven't even started on my alpaca roving . So much to do, so little time !
And then there is Pinterest....oh, my. Such an addicting site . I have found some great knitting patterns, make it yourself laundry and dishwasher detergent recipes. I foresee making all my own washing supplies from now on. So much cheaper and less toxic than commercial products .
It's actually a lot of fun "stash busting" this year. One of my goals is to use my entire stash and make all the projects for which I have yarn purchased and tucked away. Big goal!
I think I will get back to working on that goal....
Happy Knitting!
