A first peek at my spinning:

Unknown wooly fiber I found at Stone's Throw Artisans. Some mix of cream, mint and black. Very well prepared and nice to work with, and I'm getting better results than I have with some of the other fibers I've worked with. The only detraction is it was cut in short sections so I have to work at the ends more to get everything trapped (possibly because I don't really know what I'm doing).

Also, still knitting.

Mostly finished thrummed mittens. Need to weave in all the ends and fluff up the thrums.
Yarn: Noro Kureyon and Knit Picks Andean Silk.

Since I finished one of the small scale projects, I let myself start some new socks.

Widdershins from Knitty, in Trekking XXL. Very nice to knit with!

Other knitting status:
Second armwarmer for nagitaka is cast on and up to the wrist.
Working on the third Bathing Beauty for a gift.
Just got the yarn for my second legwarmer, so I'll cast on for that soon.


Mom made me a really pretty pair of earrings and I promised to photograph them for her. Very comfortable to wear. :)

the earrings are beautiful on you...i don't remember you wearing earrings in the past. you should. you look lovely.

also? you're a jerk. you shouldn't be that good at spinning on a wheel, yet. there should be some sort of initial suckitude, shouldn't there?

I was going to post about how you haven't seen my crappy stuff, but you'd poo poo that too, so I'll just shut up now. :D

i only dismiss that which i know to be false. i'm sure that you suck at something. i'm guessing lawn bowling.

Spinning looks beautiful. What a lovely colorway, too!

Sweet Jesus that yarn is gorgeous. Wow. Happy belated spinning wheel too... I'm sorry I've been quiet and flaky lately.
