Wool - Wool - Wool

I'm still waiting for my spinning wheel - has yet to ship and needless to say I'm a bit upset about it. I ordered some new roving (from someone I found online,pumpkinmama - but Anne knew about) and it is beautiful! Absolutely wonderful looking. I can't wait for the new wheel to get here so that I can spin it up!


Some new sock yarn from Ocean of the Winds just showed up today. I'm not sure what you'd call the color and I don't have a pattern ready for them ... but when I saw them online I just knew I had to have them! Her stuff is amazing. Great feeling and her dye job is ... well it left me with a longing for the yarn. I think this has to be the last sock yarn I'm going to buy for a while.



Now for my inside voice fantasy - I have 3 new projects that I want to get started on. As most of you know I hate casting on ... that is what is really holding me back ... but in my brain I've already got these new projects on the needles and I'm making progress on them. Hmmm. Maybe over coffee tomorrow.

    I love the orange-y roving you picked... and you already knew I loved Lori's dye talents. But those skeins are awfully nice too!

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

Yep.  I have totally slacked on updates.  I’ve been actively working down my year of project stuff.  But it has been a hot minute since I posted.  Let’s cover the good. I finished a few things.  A sweater (Sylvia) that has been on the needles for a year.  Roving that has been sitting for a year and the Hitchhikers shawl that was part of my planned year of project work.   Now for the bad.  I have two projects on my year of project list that just aren’t speaking to me.  One is a pair of mittens on fingering weigh and the other is fingerless mitts (which the pattern is just painful).   In the new year I plan to assess what is working and what I’m hating and focus on the things I enjoy.  Life is too short to work on projects we hate! On my list for yop I still have 3 official projects to complete.  I might swap the sweater pattern.  The plan for the week is coming together!

I took this photo just so you couldn't make out the colorway or really much of the pattern. Just a sneaky little shot to show you something that I'm currently working on. For those of you out there still wondering ... yes the Yogini sweater is coming along. I'm probably only 2 inches from finishing the second sleeve and then the trim. I know, I really should work harder to finish it!
