Now you would have thought I would have come up with this thought a long time ago but no, I believe I have had brain freeze. Any way it's done now and I'm pleased with the out come.Model is Annie)
Here is Annie's shawl I made for her, couldn't get a figure I wanted to use, Oh there is a lot out there but hay I wish to do things the laborious way, and this is such an easy stitch anyone could have come up with it.
I take other things finished but no photo's. I know bad Dido I will remember next time ok.So on to the knitting on the needles, first the old mans cardy. yes I'm still running on it. long job longer story. but I take the body almost done.
ok now there is another shawl for Annie on the kneedles, this one is from the new knitpicks Chroma yarn in fingering weight and the colorway is lollipop. real pretty colors for a daughter like my Annie and easy but there is simply something I don't care near the yarn not certain what it is so I'm not going to say much, but something that will finish me from acquiring more. I did get another one in Prism/ fingering and one lollipop in the heaver weight but not certain if I will use them. we will see I don't like waste so they will get used some time I'm sure.
Ok now this next photo is of my new shawl by the lady Romi and it the bitter root shawl. the thread is my own dyed yarn it was one of them "what ever" moments. I had scarcely finished dyeing other stuff and some dyes left over so I got the lump of thread and gave it the "what ever" treament and boy did it ever work, I know the colours. It looks all odd right now anyone that makes shawls knows that when they are on the needles they are not at their best it when they are blocked they come alive, we hope.
OK now this is not often to expect at. It's the first to Zachs new sweater. I but just throw on so it's exactly the rib and I am near to set up the pattern "Honey comb and cables" sounds fun don't it?
Ok lets see thats about it I think, just one picture of some spinning just for the heck of it.
Oh and for the ones that wonder Yes the wheel is still used My daughter will use it when she is in the mode or I use it to ply sometimes but sorry my butt just won't sit still that long to use it often but every single spindle is used a LOT. did you know it is a right way to keep fit.
OK I believe I have run out of photo's and time. so that's about it from me. Boy have I been a dear little blogger laterly. No don't get your hopes up I will fall of the wagon soon and leave to post. hay spring is on it's way that's the time I drive everyone in the house crazy with spring "to-do list" got to because by the sentence the summer gets here it's to darn hot to do anything.Well clean up your craft of selection and get on with it and have fun, Life is to light to put it off until you take time, find time your be happy you did.Keep smillingDido
