Quietish

Hey, its crafty day!

My crafting this week has been slow and casual as I fit it in between things I’m working on that are mostly non-crafty.

Hatmione is gradually climbing taller.

Did my first bobbles. Big fun! Still love the color.

I got itchy so I have started what is potentially sock1 for my SockapalOOOza sock pal.

Simply Lovely Lace Socks; by Karen Baumer; Interweave Knits - Spring 2006; Gems Opal yarn in “Pink Panther.”
I’m glad that my sock pal has about the same foot measurements as me because the circumference in the pattern is a tad small. If they end up fitting around my foot, they’ll fit hers too so yay! (Isn’t that lace pattern CUTE?!)

I have been spinning on my pretty drop spindle for a coupla weeks and just last night plied what I had. Today, I have my first skein.

This pic is pre-wash. It is hanging and drying as I type. There are some rough spots, but I got much better as I went along. Much of what I came out with was a very thin and pretty yarn. The plied, finished yarn is interesting with all of the thick spots and deformities mixed in with the thin stuff.

Well, that’s all I have this week. Sit N Stitch tonight!
