Where Am I?


I know.  Where did I run off to?  The tour is one and I'm suppose to be spinning it ... right?  Well  .....   I'm in a funk.  That is where I am.

The roving I picked to spin is large and doesn't make me feel good (so I've just left it on the wheel and have done nothing).

The knitting projects I have on the needles are all large and I feel like I'm making NO progress.  My current WIP list is:
1. Pullover sweater (I'm something like 5 inch into it)
2. TTL socks (I'm near the toes on both pair of socks)
3. Strawberry socks (I'm on the leg of sock #1)
4. Lace scarf (this is done with fine weight yarn and is taking forever!!)

So out of these 4 projects I just feel like I'm getting no where.  My plan of attack has been to finish one of them and then start something small for Zooey.  I think maybe I'll get the TTL socks off the needles first.  But, this funk has to move out.  It really is messing with my crafting mojo!

    Bet you could finish up the socks the quickest! I'd do them first too. (And you know... you could always pull the roving off the bobbin and chuck it if it's not what you like to spin!!)

Bowls With Boarders!

Image
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!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Image
Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
