I’ve finally opened an etsy shop for my handspun. I might even list some spinning fibers, too.
What’s in the first shop update?
One lonely skein of yarn. It’s a BIG skein, it’s PINK, and it’s BFL.
Anyway, one can find it and the shop here.
In knitting knews, I finished something. My attention span has been severely lacking, and it’s a wonder I can brush my hair without getting distracted, let alone knit an entire THING.
Handspun tussah singles. Fiber dyed by THE Abby. The FO met with Abby’s approval, so I’m feelin’ pretty good about it. Ravelry link.
I also knit a hat for Johnny. It’s “Thorpe”. I didn’t know if he’d actually LIKE an ear-flap hat, but since it reminds him of the old-fashioned football helmets, it’s good to go.
My first and only skein of Dream in Color Classy has been knit into a plain beanie hat and a Bainbridge scarf. I’m not bothering with pics, as I’m very disappointed with this yarn. Two knots, kempy, and honestly a bit itchy. The fiber feels like it was over heated during the dye process. I’d rather have Cascade 220 next to my skin. To add insult to injury the yarn sagged horribly in the SOAK wash. I can’t wear the hat outdoors now, as it’s not warm enough. I knit it on size 7′s and you can see hundreds of little seive-like holes in the fabric of the hat. Sheesh.
No recipe today. My only experiment with making sausage stuffing from scratch met with a soggy end. Yucko.
