My goal for July was to finish this handspun scarf!  I made it with time to spare.  This drop stitch scarf was boring but came out great.  After I finished I moved onto August’s project (fingerless mitts).  They have turned out to be a very fast knit.  I’m happy for that since the scarf felt slow!

    At this rate, you'll be done with those mitts before July is out! I love the handspun colors. That scarf was the perfect pattern for the yarn.

    Whoa! Your mitts are practically finished! What do you have planned after those?

    What a gorgeous model you have for your scarf. I love the yarn you are using for those mitts (as I sit here sweating in the July heat)

    The scarf looks so interesting, the change in textures so compliments your handspun yarn. The mitts wll turn out great, too.

    That scarf is great! As Ella says, it has a beautiful texture with the handspun, the two work really well together.

    Both projects are great - I really like the dropped stitch effect.

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!

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

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!
