I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions because I never follow through on them. Mostly I just find reasons to do the opposite of anything I resolve to do. So in that spirit, I resolve to do nothing.
In the meantime, look what I did this weekend!
I spun up 4 oz of superwash merino/tencel blend from Spinning Bunny. The colorway is Oriental Poppies. I got home Friday night and it just sat there and called to me. It wasn’t so much a siren’s song as it was a constant, insistant drumming. I spun and then plied it all Friday night. I didn’t go to bed until it was all done. Which was about 3 am. But damn, it was worth it.
I navajo plyed it and ended up with 168 yards. Which is less than what I was wanting to get out of it. I was hoping to get enough yardage to make a proper pair of socks. I guess I’ll just have to knit something else.
My life sucks.
In the meantime, I’m going to have to get a pair of these to show off my handknit socks better. Why don’t I already own a pair? WHY?
I don’t know why you don’t have a pair of those yet either. I should wear mine sometime!
Perfect!
I haven’t spun in weeks! I miss it! Your yarn looks yummy.
I need to start spinning again. I guess I’ve got so much handspun piled up that I haven’t felt much like making more.
Hey a girl I took pictures of over Thanksgiving had these and they KICK ASS!!!! Very cool!!!! Of course, she was 11, but VERY advanced for her age. lol
Also – I think I’m gonna make the Hemlock Ring thingamajig for my mom for next Christmas. Way to get an early start, huh? Anyway, they’re having the knitalong tomorrow night and I may run by for a bit.
