Check out DenKnits - My favorite things and tell me what you think!
FO - Iris Goddess of the Rainbow Shawl out of Sheep Dreamery yarn
WIPs - Bender hat design out of Encore worsted
- Socks out of Highland Handmades Sugar Maple Sock in Haven Colorway
Designing - DGY designs include a cape/cowl out of the felted ball wool, a top out of reclaimed sari silk ribbon and suede and a child's hat out of Yickity yak.
I also worked on some fingerless mitts that are a secret gift not seen by the recipient yet so those will be shown another time.
Spinning - Finally got back to the TreLiz merino in shades of purple that was originally spun on my Cattail Knits turkish spindle. That was taking too long so I spun the rest on my wheel. I've got around half done now! Plan to 3-ply by the chain or Navajo-ply technique.
I received a birthday skein of yarn that I think I forgot to show on the podcast. It's an indie dyed skein from Twin Mommy Creations purchased at Four Purls in FL. She does also have an Etsy shop, but I can't find this Peruvian Highlands wool in it, what weight yarn do you think it is???
Since there wasn't much to show I talked a bit about upcoming events, including Stitches East and Knittin in the Mitten. I'll be at both, will you? Make sure you find me and say 'Hi!'
I absolutely love that you featured and love the yarn that I dye :) I am Twin Mommy Creations... the Peruvian Highland is actually a fingering weight... and knits up really nicely on size 2 or 3s... but I think that a cape would be amazing... I can not wait to see what you create with it and I absolutely loved watching your video :) Hugs from Florida, Ann
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! So cool that you found the video :-) I really felt like it was probably fingering but it was so darn floofy I couldn't believe it! I hope to get to that soon but there are so many things to knit and not enough time it seems :-( I hope you come back to see when I do finish something!
