Yarn?

Wednesday, December 20, 2006

I've taken up spinning, because I'm a weak, weak person who just really needed saomething else to dye.
And the boss lady ordered wheel. Er, two wheels. A Louet S75 and a Victoria. And fiber. This place is so incredibly indulgent. The Victoria was back ordered, but I'm very excited for the S75 to arrive, as I've got about 5 lbs of fiber waiting to be spun. Hand dyed merino and black merino and natural shetland and BFL and cotton/silk the color of my great grandmother's hydrangea bush and why did I have to break my $@&! spindle?

I've updated my project list. I may even have finished a few things.


UFOs:
Kyli's little heart sweater -Needs buttons sewn on. And then I have to make another one for the shop.
Tubey -Still I'm still on the first sleeve, still.
Jasmine Sweater from Natural Knits for mom's friend-Ripped down to the start of the arm holes. I've got um, two whole days to finish!
Royal Bamboo Scarf-Is, through no fault of my own, missplaced.
Silk Garden Seed Stitch Scarf(s)- For the other waitresses. Five (5!) done, one to go.
Aelf from Rowan 40-A shop sample. Done with the body, and on the lace, but it's just coming out all wrong. This is my fault I'm sure, which makes it even more frustrating.
hats for the guys- because none of them have enough hair to keep them warm.

In the wings:
Chunky Alpaca sweater-Because I'm already freezing at night, I doubt the Alpaca will be too warm for me. I've got heathered red Misti Alpaca for this.
Gina's Bolero (and hat. And belt. And lacey tank. And Ipod cozy.)-And she's coming home for thanksgiving. (It's not that she's demanding, it's that most of these are actually finished but went missing. The tank and Bolero are all I have left to do)
Kitty Pi bed-In Ultra Alpaca, with ArtfulYarns Galaxy as the border. Because those are the yarns Shadow selected.
Blossom Scarf-I'm on a scarf kick, what can I say?
Hats and/or scarves for Joe and his family-I thought it would be nice for christmas to make something for the best record store owner ever, for putting up with my special orders all year.

Actually finished:
Blossom Scarf
5 of 6 Silk Garden Scarves (+1 for me)
D's baby socks
1 of 6 LP Bulky hats
