I've been somewhat housebound, so I've been able to get a thing or three done (silver lining).
And I'm still working on the 60/2 silk scarf.
 |
| Per request, I made a ski hat for my son in law. Perhaps you've noticed that I never do it the easy way. Instead of making two hats and sewing them together, I cast on with two strands of yarn together. Then, I separated the stitches onto two circular needles and voila! To give it some body, about three inches up I crossed the yarns over each other (kind of like switching colors for intarsia) and back. |
 |
| Both yarns are superwash merino by Lorna's Laces. He should be plenty warm in these freezing temperatures! |
 |
| I put one last warp (thinking positively) on my Gilmore loom. I just put him up for sale and am Hoping someone will jump at the chance to bring him home! |
 |
| That's white 5/2 pearl cotton for the warp and some cotton softball for the weft. I had enough for two baby blankets. The second one is a grey-blue that almost completely emptied the cone! |
 |
| I'm loving it! |
 |
| But most of what I've been doing has been spinzen. I've been enjoying peaceful, calming moments at my wheel with the yak/silk blend I showed you here. |
