Honest, I'm spinning

Image
You may think I haven't been doing any spinning or knitting based on my most recent posts. I have, but I have been very lazy about posting pictures and actually writing. Anywhoo, here are a couple things I have been working on. This is "Lothlorien" colorway from Judy's Novelty Wool. This is a colorway that I put together when I was taking spinning lessons from Judy Gunn. When I want more I just get it from Judy. It is a really fun thing for me to spin. I don't have a project for it, yet. But, as we say "Yarn is a finished project." AHHH, is there anything more lovely than the feel of Merino and Silk. I don't think so. This is "Rose". I am spinning it for Mumsy. She is going to knit a sweater. She bought some really cool shiny, pearlescent yarn and it will be combined with the "Rose" yarn. I am spinning it fairly fine (singles about 40 wpi, s/b 20 wpi plyed). It will be really gorgeous, I think. Next week at the Wasa...
