Shalom Cardigan

I am standing in the yarn store waiting to check out and staring at the handspun yarn on the wall.  Staring at it...feeling its loneliness wanting a home...but I can barely knit smooth milled yarn so I am definitely not up to tackling knubby yarn...looks a little too unruley for me.

Then for some reason I pull some off the wall and buy it.  I take it home and am no longer interested in the orginal project...all I can think about is knitting up that yarn.  I look through my stash and the lime green shines through. 

The rest is history...I was in love.

Weaving!

I went to a weaving workshop today at Weavers Corner.

I can hardly wait to go back!
I made two dishcloths:

And a beautiful rug for my kitchen from the ugliest fabric remnants ever!!

Now I am totally in love with weaving ...how to get Bryan to buy me a floor loom?!

Instant Gratification Scarf

This is my first handspun yarn experience.  I purchased this lovely yarn from Northern Bay Handspun Yarn just a few days ago.  The yarn is 50% merino/50% milk--and so very soft.  The pattern was very simple and found here.  I used 83 yards.  Enjoy your scarf Ang!

First knitting project

This is my first knitting project--besides the washcloth that I made in my knitting class.

Bryan had said that he would love a wool blanket hand knitted.  So I took a knitting class, bought wool yarn...and am slowly putting this afghan together.  The inspiration is here.  I am making larger and in the stockinette stitch.  The knitting lessons and yarn is from Blueball Mountain Spindle & Needleworks.
