I actually have a lot to show this week. I have finished knitting, finished handspun yarn, birthday gifts.... just all kinds of stuff.
So, lets start off with the finished knitting... I finally finished a knitting project! Another great cloth pattern by Sue at
Harvest Moon Designs. This is the Seaside Set, cute huh?
And here is the very first yarn that I spun on my Elizabeth. I ended up with approx. 347 yards of fingering weight yarn. It's a little overspun, but I still think it came out nice for the first yarn off my new wheel. :)
Here is the birthday gift that my wonderful friend
Chan sent me.... a slider hook flyer for my Elizabeth!!! This baby is awesome! The bobbins are quite a bit larger than my original bobbins, however my original bobbins will still work on the new flyer. I'm so excited to give this a try!! I just need to get it sanded & stained so she matches my wheel. :) Thank you soooo much Chan!!! I lourves my new flyer, you're just too good to me.
Now lets check out the birthday gift that my wonderful friend
Kathy sent me. (Both Kathy's & Chan's boxes arrived on the same day! It was a good mail day!)
Kathy sent some of her yummy handdyed yarn, it's just gorgeous & squishy soft, superwash merino DK. You can't have my beautiful yarn but you can get your own
HERE.
This was a large package! Look what else was in there.... spinning batts carded by Kathy herself.
Combs so I can make myself a handmade blending hackle, or get Kevin to help me (ie. make me) one. LOL
Some gorgeous Mohair (left) & Alpaca (right) fibers....
And more wool....
Kathy called it the "do it yourself" birthday gift.... I just call it awesome! Thank you sooooo much Kathy, I love all of it. And you are just so sweet for thinking of me & always knowing the perfect thing to send me. :)
This is so cool! Check out my little sheep! He's nestled there in that pretty bow. :) Trish made the bow, she has a whole
etsy shop full of adorable bows! She makes them for packages, barrettes & pigtail holders, just too cute. And you can even buy
this bow with my little sheep in there too.
And here is a little something that I picked up at
Beth's shop
Blue Mountain Handcrafts, more gorgeous spinning fiber!! Woohoo!
Well, I think that's it for now.... I'm sure I'm forgetting something. If I remember what that is I'll let you know. :)
