Walk-Ins Welcome
Just take a little off the front, ok?
It was a beautiful sunny day (might be our last for a while), so I jumped right on getting the partial fleece washed up and dried
I wish he would have stuck around for a more complete haircut, but he seems pretty pleased with the style- and the other guys know better than to poke fun at Edgar. 🙂
In other news, I spun up some of that Mr. Fancypants Chone+dyed mohair blend from my carding extravaganza a couple weeks back-
And am so pleased with the results!
In the bus-knitting category, the teal/green/chartreuse skein skein got the nod.
It is well on it’s way to being a light and smooshy feather and fan stitch cowl.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Or maybe lime squeezy?
Vintage Handspun Mood
Done!
Ok, not quite done. Still needs a button or some kind of little closure thingee.
But it’s knitted, washed, blocked, and dried.
So, about 99.5% done.
And I think it’s really cute.
But I’m not really in the right mood to model anything right now.
(Sorry. It’s a lazy, schlumpy kind of Sunday night)
So now I have to decide if I want to knit another one while it’s still fresh in my mind, or shift gears and do something completely different!
And I have to decide fast,
Because I hate being without something to knit on breaks, and on the bus and such.
Knitting is sometimes the only thing that keeps be from losing my mind while using public transportation.
Powerful medicine for the bus commute.
2 Skeins?
3?
or 4?
Better take 4.
Mondays can be tough.
Shades of the Flock
Been spending some quality time with the carder lately.
Catching up on processing fleece now that summer seems to be retreating.
At least rainy weather is good for something!
Here is some Chone-
And some Edgar/Griff-
And the Frank/Felix-
Thought it was probably a good idea to move some fiber down the pipeline, as I’ll probably have some new fall fleeces entering the wool pool soon!
Oh, I did a little bit of blending, too-
Here is Chone all gussied up with some dyed Romney and mohair
And I finally have a picture of Vintage Mood that looks like something!
Just a few more inches to go-
I think it’s going to be a nice wardobe addition- and mighty toasty!
