There's One In Every Bunch...
..And it's mine! Three bags of sheep tape measures came in, and Judy told me one of the blacks was mine! I've been dying for one since I am the ultimate black sheep!
Last month, I won some wonderful merino/tencel fiber from Chameleon Colorworks thanks to Spindlicity. I've become so enamoured with the handle of the fiber, I'm going to buy some in white to dye and spin for sock yarn. I also dyed some of my own Corridale. The colors turn out pastel because I didn't use enough vinegar. The colors still turned out nice. The next two pictures are the merino/tencel and then the corriedale. Don't you just *LOVE* the shine of that fiber?? Wait till you feel it!
I've spun up some bamboo, black alpaca/glitz mix, the yummy Chameleon Colorworks fiber, and a think-n-thin yarn that I plied with black thread.
Finally, I am still working on Mariah. I'm finished with one sleeve, and making progress on the second, but I needed something else. I've been playing with fair isle, so I can make some lovely fair isle socks. Right now, I'm making a treasure bag with Truffles and an asian motif. I also started an anklet sock today, just for the purpose of learning how to my an hourglass heel, which has turned out quite nice so far. My friend Bobby came by and said "Wow! It's going to be a sock! It looks like a regular one!"
