I found another bag of the same Shetland fibre while digging through the stash! I spun it up quickly – the second skein is 225 yards.
Also dug out some old Ashland Bay merino fibre for a longer-term spinning project – there’s at least a pound of this stuff. I was sure I’d spun up more than one bobbin already though…will have to take another look!
I had a great weekend – mostly staying in, playing games, knitting, making food, relaxing. I’m trying to get into a good rhythm of working during the week so that I can have the relaxing weekends, and so far it’s going well. I got some (hopefully good) ideas and finished up some knitting.
Since many of you asked, I will be releasing a pattern for the simple shawl that I posted about awhile ago. But since black isn’t really the most photogenic colour, I whipped up another sample to take some photos of. I knit this one start to finish in less than a week, and I hope to have the pattern out in just a few days. It really is the simplest pattern, but sometimes simple is just what you need.
Other yarns I’m working with this week:
Zen Yarn Garden Superwash Worsted, Quince & Co Chickadee, and Johanneshof Yarns Romney, a gift from Rhinebeck!
