With all the goings on going on, I've been self soothing, doing things that make me feel calm.
 |
| I finished spinning and plying this 50/50 Silk/Camel blend from Redfish. It is so soft to the touch! |
 |
| And the 8oz of fiber I started with is now 800yds of two ply. |
 |
| After such a long project, it felt good to do a shorter one (and to get something else out of my fiber stash). I spun up 2 oz of Milk fiber, called Casin. I haven't done the math to figure out how many yards it is. |
 |
| This pair of socks was from a yarn I picked up at last year's yarn crawl. I taught myself how to do a different kind of heel. It's called a short row heel. I'm definitely going to try it, again! |
 |
I'm finally down to just one box of fabric scraps and lengths. Don't ask me how tired I am of these same fabrics. Really. Don't! I went onto Youtube to see how to cut it into continuous strips for weaving.
|
 |
| Right now, I'm using some of it to weave a rug with Sophie. I haven't been completely pleased with my previous rug projects, but practice is how I learn. |
 |
| When my LYS closed, I picked up a pack of five small skeins of Manos del Uruguay, Fino. It's extrafine merino and silk. I really enjoyed doing the colorwork with this fine yarn. |
 |
| It was so much fun, that I went ahead and used the other set of colors I'd bought. I ran out of the white with about 10 stitches to go. Can you tell? |
 |
| The hat is from a free Ravelry pattern called, "Katie's Kep". Such a lovely crown on this hat! |
