it’s insane!!! How could I be so blog lazy for so long??? Did the Ravelympics take everything out of me? Well, I don’t know but I think part of it is that there is so much going on that the blog always gets the least attention.
I guess I’ll start way back when and go in little spurts untilI catch up……..
After the Ravelympics were done, the first thing I did was finish a pair of handspun socks with some gorgeous handspun from Crown Mountain Fibres. This had been sitting in my stash for a bit but socks seemed like the thing to cast on. They were a great knit:
Socks and Fingerless Mittens
Knitted on 2.5 mm Hiya Hiya stainless steel needles (my recent most favourite needles) and just my basic top down sock pattern. The yarn was the gorgoues SW Merino in She’s Like a Rainbow – 3 plied. I had quite a bit left when I was done so I decided on a quick pair of fingerless mittens. I love the set!!!
It’s Easter Monday. We had a lovely long weekend and I’m cherishing that today is another day off for us. I’m trying to get all kinds of creative things done around here including some chainmailleing, some picture taking, some weaving, some knitting and some spinning. My current project on the wheel is some super soft baby camel/silk which is a pure pleasure to spin.
I will try to keep the updates coming over the next few days!!!!
