Behold the lovely socks that I finished last week for my MIL, Colleen! They were birthday socks! I love the yarn.

There are more images on my flickr site.

I have more to report, too! Look at this!

So cute! I made the pattern up myself, although honestly who can say they have an original hat pattern?? I made little booties to go with it. They are REALLY small. I have a hard time imagining a real person foot in them. We’ll see…

I have posted a few shots of some of my handspun on Flickr as well. I have been busy busy spinning!

More later! I have spent the day catching up on my all photos (crafty and otherwise) so things should be more manageable now. Here’s hoping! I did a bunch of fiber dyeing yesterday with WhorlingTides. We used her acid dyes, and had lots of fun! I’ll try to get some pictures of those rovings next. They are almost dry;-) and very pretty!

Well hello there! I have been feeling rather quiet lately, thus the lack of posting. Why, you say? Well, it isn’t for lack of projects. No, no. While some might stop knitting when it gets hot, I have been cranking away at my various a sundry projects.! I can’t wait to show you, but I think one of the causes of my quietness has been my photography. I am out of inspiration for photographing my projects, and I am trying to do something about that.

I’ve been doing a lot of spinning lately! This is a spindle that I have borrowed from my good friend WhorlingTides. It is beautiful, and I can spin SO MUCH on it! I think I can get close to 300 yards of fingering weight yarn (single spun)… I am LOVING this spindle!

I received my first 6 lbs of Mill Ends rovings last week, and am planning a big dyeing project soon! I’m planning on dyeing a good deal of it with marigold, and perhaps some madder. I want to get some good reds, yellows and golds. I will probably use some other natural dyes, maybe some logwood and some indigo as well… we’ll see! I am so excited about it all!

Updates soon. I will get over my photography slump soon!
