Long Weekend

denisemor 6 July 4, 2011

Didn’t have a whole lot of time for fiber fun this weekend, but I don’t think I’d shared these recent spins with you yet-

Above, clockwise from top we’ve got Frank/Felix soft spun singles, a pearly grey Romney two-ply from Sand Hill Farm, and a fun blend of Frank/Felix, white alpaca and blue and wine colored mohair.

I am really in love with the F & F singles. They are a beautiful creamy opaque white, and so soft and lofty.

Work up really quick, too, from hand combed top!

And just in time to be put away for the summer, here are the finally completed sweaters!

3/4 sleeve colorwork raglan:

roll-edge natural shades raglan:

and Huey and Frank Oregon vest!

New project: socks for Oscar (my nephew)!

Have a great week-

Basking

We had sun today!

(Bear with me, it’s kind of a big deal around here) 🙂

Even the sweaters are kind of basking- while blocking.

So I’m two for three on sweater completion this week! Woo hooo!

The Oregon Vest zipper is basted into place

So hopefully I’ll get this last one wrapped up this week!

My Little Boys are Growing Up

He still looks like a crazy little baby

But he’s got Big Boy teeth!

Neat, eh?

And speaking of little babes, my cousin and his wife just had a boy this week-
So, this little White Sox bear will be shipping out tomorrow to hang with Charlie Ross.

In other news, Stashbuster sweaters are nearing completion:

Decided on 3/4 sleeves for this one, so it will be finished as soon as I can get those last few rows of colorwork done!

And this guy needs a little more length on both body and arms, but I’m sooooooo close!

I’ll sign off with the spin of the week-

That’s approximately 360 yards of steely grey Spike-y goodness! (my pick from Schoonover Farms shearing day this year)

Works (still) in Progress

I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but I am always uneasy when I have too many projects hanging out unfinished.

Don’t get me wrong- The Stashbuster Raglan is going well,

Quite well, actually. That guy is the least of my concerns.

I still have ends to weave and zipper to install in the Huey/Franklin Oregon Vest…..

It’s lovely. And I want to wear it. But there’s that dang zipper to sew in.

And diving back further into project history is the PREVIOUS stashbuster raglan!

Dag. I love this sweater too. Its just hard to get back in the groove with that colorwork on the sleeves.

Then there is the “never was a clearly defined project in the first place, but I ought to turn it into something” category-

Its about 38″ long, 9″ wide strip of brioche stitch. I’m taking suggestions what it might want to be.

And also a bear without a face.

These little guys never look like much until they have eyes and a nose.
Then I have to do a little White Sox logo on his sweater.

Wish me luck.
