Starts and Finishes!


I haven't done any spinning for almost a year! 
 With a quiet few hours, I was able to spin 2.2 oz of this medium grade wool from Paradise Fibers in the Mars colorway.  
I hope to get some more spinning done soon and then on to plying! 
 I have a hat pattern in mind for this but more on that later.
The boot socks for my Dad are done;  while they were a quick knit, I didn't enjoy making them.
I'm not sure why-larger needles?  ...larger yarn?  ....boring color? ....my mood?
Whatever, on to the next project!

    That fiber reminds me of a cat, curled up and sleeping. Enjoy our spinning.

    I'm not really enjoying the boot socks I'm making either.

    Spinning has been on my back burner for awhile too. My wheel is right in front of my TV so it shows you how much TV I've been watching. Where does the time go?

    Nice job on your spinning. I think the yarn will work up beautifully.

    That fiber reminds me of Jared’s new kitten! Sorry the socks were boring; it will be fun to mail them off, though!
