Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Remember me going on about this roving . 74% alpaca, 24% silk and 1% angelina. Basically spins its self. I did nothing to spin it. Nothing. I just put it on the wheel and it flew through! 430 yards of sport weight. Now to just figure out what to make with it!

Day one of the tour has been wonderful. I got through my first 2 oz of the Gimli Blended Roving from Wooly Wonka Fiber. And will be on to the next 2 oz tomorrow. The tour sure does seem good for getting through roving!

I'm making some good progress on the giant granny square blanket (although it is a bit hot to be working on it). I got some great stitch markers from Jill and ordered some more for my self. This Weeones shop has just the cutest stuff! I started spinning up 4oz of some delicious chocolate strawberry roving from Anne . I know it isn't called that ... but is is so great it reminds me of sweets! More on this once I finish!

Jill and I cast on Cleopatra today. Both of us read and re-read the instructions to make sure that we got it perfect. It went well and we are both really happy with the progress we made. We were also excited to see that our yellows from Wooly Wonka Fibers is slightly different and just so cool compared to one another. The dye jobs are great! Here is my handspun that I've been working on the flutter scarf with. It took me a while to get into the scarf - but I'm loven' it! This was one skein of yarn that I rescued from the floor of the craft room near the fire. I just couldn't let it go! In another note I ordered a traveling spinning wheel today. It has 3 day shipping ... I'm not holding my breath - but I'd love to have something to spin on in the near future!
