Spin .Knit .Love .

This is my crafty share session for the 26th June 2012

WIPS - Only what I worked on this week

  Into The Whirled in the Fierce & Flawless Colourway
- 100% BFL Top
- I have attempted to spin this worsted weight, but so far I have overs pun it and think I may need to frog half of the first lot. I just can't seem to thicken my spinning.


 Noodle Creations in the Houndoom Colourway
- 100% Superfine Merino (17.5 Micron Count)
- This has been fractual spun this as a 2-ply and love how it has came out, but I am not intending on putting this in a hank until I get my yardage counter. It is a light fingering to a lace weight, but I really wanted to try my first pair of socks out of this, now I am not too sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Completed Projects

Just Enough Ruffles by Laura Chau
- Lorna's Lace  Worsted Multi in Amy's Vintage Office Colourway
- I really enjoyed making this scarf, I found it easy to follow which says a lot seeing I am only a knitting learner. I can see making a few more of these in different colourways. Zombie BBQ is the next colourway i am planning on starting.

When I Started spinning I never realized that it would take me more than 2 days to do a single ply and another day to ply it. At the moment it feels like it is taking FOREVER. However I finally finished my Houndoom merino top, but I will not put it in a hank until I get my yardage counter.

I feel so lazy getting a counter, but I really cannot be bothered working it out manually.

I am so wrapped, I finished my first knitting project (EVER). It's the Just Enough Ruffles by Laura Chau made with Lorna's Lace Worsted Multi in Amy's Vintage Office Colourway. I started it on the 14th June and completed it today.

So this is my crafty share session for the 19th June 2012

 Noodle Creations in the Shark Attack Colourway
- 100% Merino (23 Micron Count)
- I have done 65gms so far and plan on N-Plying it. I have found spinning the 23 count is very course and has more lumps that go through it. However I am hoping to have it done by next week.


 Noodle Creations in the Houndoom Colourway
- 100% Superfine Merino (17.5 Micron Count)
- I love how smooth this feels in my fingers as I spin it. I would love to fractual spin this wool top. So far I have spun 65gms straight from the sliver, now I plan on separating the remainder into 3 strips and spinning those together on a separate bobbin and making a 2-Ply

Recent Purchases

I splurged a little this week

For my Mystery Shawl called Rockefeller by WestKnits I purchased 2 Wollmeises skeins from ravelry in the Sockenwolle 80/20 Twin 47Ag and Schwefel Twin colourways.

I brought 3 lots of batts and custom orders another 2 sets from the Cupcake Fiber Company




I purchased the Kaisercraft Check In papers from Sassy Scrapper

What's Happening Here

This week I signed up for the Mystery Shawl called Rockefeller by WestKnits
- I have chosen to use Wollmeise in the Sockenwolle 80/20 Twin 47Ag and Schwefel Twin colourway.
- I love the thought of making this out of grey and green, but I am excited just to be apart of the Kal.

I have been doing the Stash Dash with The Knit Girllls and not doing as well I wanted, I am at 7.5% of my goal :(, but I haven't counted anything that is not finished yet.  So I should start making some headway on that soon.

I haven't done any scrapbooking this week, but I do plan on creating at least 1 page before the end of next week, but I guess I will see how that goes.

Ummmm I don't think I have much more to add, and this seems really really long to me.

So thanks for stopping by and if you want to ask any questions please feel free to message me either here or in ravelry
