Knitting/Spinning content soon!!

May went away.....

Very fast!!!


Here in a nutshell is the goings on in May!

Whooooooo R U??

Lot's of whoooing going on around here!  I swear I am starting to like owls now, spot them everywhere. My last spinning swap pal loved them.

As well as a fellow knitter here.  She did not know if boy or girl, but she wanted everything owly...

So in addition to the soakers, I whipped these burp cloths up!


Here's a stack of them! I used this tutorial!  We met wee baby Caleb yesterday (1 week old!) and the top one is in use.  I forgot how little babies are!

Flannel works great and I washed both the diapers and the flannel and used a bit of vinegar in the flannel load to help with possible dye runoff.

So, see these cute owls here.  I was going to use this fabric for the above burp cloths, but found out the flannel is much better.

My LQS (local quilt shop) where I hung out a bit prior to full time working was collecting pillowcases for various charities.  Last year I think I sewed 20 or so.  It was fun finding the solids to match.


Any Dr. Who fans???

Enter the Tardis colorway!!  Soon to be n-plied on a wheel near me soon ;)  Sock yarn here I come...stripey sock yarn!

Pope Norie

What started out from one of these braids....



Became this skein.....



Which was knitted up like this...

Gah...about 2" from this picture is when I ran out of yarn...

Note that first picture...yeah, I was saved, I had another braid!  So, I did what any other spinner that had an extra braid of fiber....tore a hunk off and spun it up.

You see 40 more yards here in this wee little yarn cake....


The weight was more like worsted where the prior handspun was a sport/dk weight...

However, to finish the crown decreases...it didn't matter..

I.LOVE.this hat!!  Wished it was colder!  It fits perfect and the Finn does not bother me at all!

My handspun in Pope Mittens by Two if By Hand
US 5 needles
Mods: I did not knit the cats paw lace and started crown decreases after row 67.

Love this colorway. Have almost a full braid left and a skein that looks a bit different due to a different fiber and way of spinning. Interesting how that happens ;)

Sigh..will have to wait for next winter...sure hope we are still in a cold climate though....hmmmmm...

Not too thrilled about the yellow bullseye...you know I dislike yellow ;)

High...speed....knitting???

Or not??

Started in May.....



Finished in March...

Not too fast huh?



TGV - (how cool mine is a featured picture too :D
Two if By Hand Finn- Over the Top Colorway spun by my swap partner AdrienneC.
US 7 needles

I had 2 skeins and thought it was a great idea to use up the first skein on the garter part and the 2nd on the ribbed section...well, should have knit the garter section to the full 9" and then the ribbed section to finish...oh well, still have some leftovers.

Love the colors, it'll go with a lot!

More Baby Knits

The last of them for a bit I think :)

One of the girls in our knitting group is having a baby in the next few weeks and plans to cloth diaper and use soakers.  So we got together and now she has about 12 of them.  Here are my two contributions.

Snapdragon Soaker

Malabrigo Worsted in Emerald Blue
US 5 & 8 needles
No mods, except for not knitting the YO row for the drawstring tie.

This one was knit from leftovers of Malabrigo worsted too.

The variegated is Col China and the other is Burgundy, left over from a UFO...yeah, think I need to finish that one.


I'm sure they will be put to good use!

Well hello there!

Whew! Has it really been a month! It's been interesting getting back into the 40 hr work week again. I did get used to the part time hours and having more free time. There has been knitting and spinning going on, just taking more time than ususal to finish.

Here's a blanket I started in August. The baby was due in February, but came 1 month early. I finished the other day and it's going out in the mail tomorrow.





The purple is hard to capture just so.

I love the green and wanted to do a different edge.




Pinwheel Baby Blanket by Genia Planck
Dream in Color Classy- Pansy Go Lightly (2 skeins) and 1/4 skein of Happy Forest
US 8 circulars

Notes: used Judy's magic cast on with a long circular, then switched to dpns until it grew enough to fit on a 24" circular.  Ended using a 40" circular and 420 stitches.  Knit 3 garter ridges for edging, then a c/o 3 and bind off 6 for the picot bind off.

I had always wanted to knit one....um..now I can say I have ;)  Perfect for TV knitting....will I knit another one....not anytime too soon ;)
