Yarn Along
7:11 AMI had a productive week in some ways and in others I feel like there was not enough time. I think I just did not do a good job of balancing my to do list. I have a post almost ready to go about our Angora rabbits but I just did not have the time I needed to get it done. I hope to put it up tomorrow!
But there was knitting and playing with fiber!! Of course there was! But we won't talk about the housework that needs to get done......no let's not go there!
I finished my Snowfling Mittens!! Such a fun pattern! And thanks to my 5 year old for the great shot of me with my mittens!
I also cast off on the test knit I was doing for Susan Ashcroft. Everyone should knit this pattern! It is such a relaxing knit and the end result looks like far more work then it actually is! I used my handspun for it but it would be a great pattern for any type of yarn. It is the perfect size and it has been cold enough for me to actually wear it this week! (what happened to Spring???) It's called the Little Big Wrap.
I hope everyone that celebrates Easter had a lovely Holiday. Ours was a bit quiet and simple but sometimes those can be the best ones. Our chickens gave us a nice Easter surprise and starting laying and there were great big Easter hugs for our 4 legged friends.
There was a bit of spinning on the wheel this week but I am saving that for another post of it's own! I finally have a plan for Apricot the Alpaca's fleece and I want to share that this week!! But here is a sneak peek at what I have been doing.........
Joining Ginny over at Small Things for the yarn along this week. Happy knitting!

ReplyDeleteYour Snowfling mitts are so beautiful! I love that pattern and want to try it someday. It made me smile that your chickens gave you a gift on Easter - I know well that thrill and promise of those first eggs discovered! Happy Easter to you too, I hope your housework gets done by some magic housework fairies so you can keep making such beautiful things.

ReplyDeleteYour Snowfling Mittens are amazing! And the Little Big Wrap shawl is beautiful. I do love those colors.
ReplyDeleteI sooooo love the Little Big Shawl - tempted to cast on as soon as the pattern is available! Your handspun just looks perfect. As for the alpaca blend - you've really nailed it there <3

ReplyDeleteOh the shawl looks gorgeous. I checked the pattern out to see if I can actually knit it. I think the pattern doesn't come out till 2016 though. Big high to Miss 5 for the mittens shot. Another gorgeous project.
