Grouch in progress

I saw the "guidelines" for making grouch and decided it would look nice in this organic cotton. I may run out though.....

For those interested, here is the link to the pattern (dress) on Ravelry

1st handspun on new Symphony

Starry starry night

This is how I organize my SIP's. I create a chart for the lace pattern and then tape it to my sock tube.

Teapot cozy

Got a lot done this weekend. Knitted a teapot cozy from my nieces handspun. Knitted a "surprise" hat. Both were invented on the spot, so I was completely amazed when they both were spot on. I also was able to wash up some of my new fleece (3/4 BFL 1/4 Lincoln), dye some more milk in the pretty charcoal gray, dye up some superwash BFL in red/white stripe, and finish spinning up the pink/gray milk. And on top of all that, I went to the 2nd hand store and found a matching serving bowl for my new dishes - and treated the lawn for moss. Wow!
