Buttons

Today in the mail I received a package from my sister. She handmade a
batch of buttons and sent them to me. They are beautiful!

Ten years of knitting

This fall marks ten years that I took a class at Northampton Wools and learned to knit.

What am I working on now? I'm nearly done with this sweater vest for my niece. Wild vanilla.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

Sunfloweryarns hexis

There are even more now. Must start on Christmas presents, but I'm in a groove making hexis from the Sunfloweryarns mini skeins. Each mini is making two (or almost two) hexis.

Here is a hexi made from Sunfloweryarns Red Sox Red. And the graph I used to stitch it.

Greater Boston yarn crawl

Ok so I didn't do much crawling. But look at the little beauty I found a Butterfly Yarns. In Indian Corn. Just right for the season.

Merino silk




70grams of merino/tussah 50/50 blend in Limpid Pools by Spunky Eclectic
638 yards
The true color is slightly less electric blue then the pictures imply.
Now what to make with this yummy skein??

And somebody else wanted to get in on the action too.

Five years of Ravelry

Today is the 5th anniversary of my Ravelry account. Woohoo. I love Ravelry.

Pictured--a plying ball of Spunky Eclectic merino/tussah in Limpid Pools.
In the process if plying now. The Fiber Revival this past weekend
brought my spinning mojo back.

Handspun hexi

A Corriedale. As I recall the color was called Pavarti Patil.

State of the hexis

Yarn Crawl

I has been a while but here are the goodies I picked up on the north
shore yarn crawl in March. More yarn to make hexi puffs. And more to
spin.

Hexed


Yes, I've worked on other projects in the past 3 months, but this is my current obsession. I bought the pattern last summer, but didn't get started until last week. I had plenty of yarn lying around, what I didn't have was the rest of my set up--a perfect little bag to carry things around in, and tiny size 4 dpn. Once I acquired those things the hexis began.

And, I finally found what I wanted to spend my Loopy Ewe gift certificate on--yes, can you believe I've had it for 2.5 years.
Miniskeins!

We'll see how long the obsession lasts.
