Waiting for Santa

King Tut has been keeping watch for the big guy in red,

While my needles and hooks have been flying this week.

Christmas Cardigan for Miss A

Still flying, Go-veralls for Little miss Z

The matching stripes on the legs were not planned, it's just how the yarn worked out.

Secret Santa

I finished the gift my daughter needed for Secret Santa.
I hope the girl enjoys them.

Yarn is Caron One Pound.
Mittens are 'Give a hoot mittens". Small beads for eyes.
The scarf is just a garter stitch scarf with owls at both ends.
We used larger glass beads for the eyes.

Flashback

Spinning

My little pinkie has been busy this week. She went to college with me for one of my presentations and was shown off to everyone. I am going to be making a weight for that back of her so that she won't rock as much. That was what my proposal paper was about in Advanced report writing. The instructor gave me a 50 out of 50 on the presentation. All of the guys in class had to take turns playing on her and seeing how yarn was actually made.

Other than being shown off, she was also making yarn this week.

We made:
210 yards of Coopworth



70 yards of Camel/silk



75 yards of Merino



4 oz of Romney



Spinning is now becoming fun.
