Zauberball.
I am powerless to resist Zauberball.
And you can never have too many cool socks.
So there you go.
Still not quite ready to resume Autumn’s End.
It was going fine, but I’m at that point where the body gets joined to the arms and the yoke shaping starts (in an overall lace pattern) And I don’t have enough available memory (or attention span) to process that right at the moment.
For now I’m content to watch the colors change as I K2 P1 over the next 7 inches of cuff.
Just a reminder that next Saturday is the WSU Country Living Expo in Stanwood.
So I have to get myself organized! Wool to play with, carders, combs, wheel(s)?, wheel first aid kit, etc etc.
I’ll have the subaru pretty well stuffed I think.
My one regret in signing up to do five sessions of classes is that I won’t have any time to go any other classes myself.
But it’s always fun to talk to folks about wool and get people started spinning, so it should be a great day.
In other news, I’ve expanded my Etsy offerings to include some yarn- selected groupings of coordinated shades both naturals and dyed/blended of about 5 ounces each. Enough for a hat, cowl or other small project.
Have a great week!
Such a handsome fellow
And looking sharp in his cable knit sweater
He was fun to make. The pattern is really well written and detailed.
A bit fussy with the finishing (lots of sewing and ends) but turned out really cute-
and a pretty good likeness I think!
For some odd reason I am still not ready to get back to Autumn’s End.
For a while it was hats, then a just-for-the -heck-of-it cowl
My current distraction is this sweet little sheep
It’s an interesting pattern. In looking at the picture I would never have guessed how it is constructed.
I’m making one in the likeness of Edgar- here are the pieces so far
Body and head
Three out of four legs
So I’ve still got one leg, ears and horn band to knit. And a sweater too, I guess.
Then comes the sewing up.
But I think it’s going to be super cute.
I might need to make a whole wee flock!
And I have gotten a little spinning done lately as well- blended batts left over from the holiday market have become sweet little skeins
Long live the stash!
