Reference<\/a><\/p>\n

Writing this post makes me feel like I am on a roll. I am not. It was just that it was so long since I have written about something other than the blanket or stash enhancement that I have had time to actually do some knitting and some spinning. Let’s start with the spinning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the silk\/merino blend that I got from Neighborhood Fiber<\/a> at the Homespun Yarn Party. It took what feels like forever to do the plying for this. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I did not bring the Louet that I use for plying upstairs, and instead did the plying down in the basement. Not the most conducive of environments. But I did persevere. I am thinking of knitting some lace with this, though I have not settled on a pattern yet, as there are only 350 yards here, so some of my initial thoughts are out the window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is some of the Fiber Optic<\/a> that I picked up at the festival. They are both BFL. The Sapphire is waiting to be plied, while I am more than halfway through spinning up the Everglade into singles. I am very happy with it, so far. Once finished, I hope to use the one as weft and the other as warp to weave a scarf. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I finished another pair of socks! This is the Dubious Oriole colorway in Naiad Sock from Dragonfly Fibers<\/a>. This was my easy knitting, as it is just the plain old 2×2 rib. Not that the next sock is difficult.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Djinni from Dragonfly Fibers in Reluctant Dragon colorway. Both this and the Naiad you just saw are ones that I got at the Homespun Yarn Party. The stitch pattern for this sock is the slip stitch rib from one of the Schurch sock books. Like I said, not difficult.<\/p>\n

And this little thing?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is one of of Opal’s Off the Hook stitch markers. You can see them better over at her store<\/a>. BTW, she has moved her blog<\/a>, in case you are keeping track.<\/p>\n

And since I am giving shout-outs, here is a shout to my friend Nancy<\/a>, who started up her blog<\/a> towards the end of last year. Pop by and say hello, or she might go medieval on your …. Just kidding, Nancy!<\/p>\n
