Sock yarn

See that little blob of yarn sitting on top of the larger skein? I spun that a year ago, then ran out before finishing my husbands socks. The skein sitting under it was spun this month. I can barely tell a difference, can you? Does this make me an accomplished spinner? Now I can finish his socks, finally!

100% Soy Silk Handspun

I spun this soy silk up for my mom. She bought this roving in alaska while on vacation. There is about 620yards of fingering weight. I didn't hate spinning it, but definitely different than wool. Will make a great shawl or scarf. I have another 4.5 oz to spin up.

I finished my lace cowl and added vintage buttons. I think the picture is crap. Maybe my husband will help me take better pictures of it, on me.

I had a Martha Stewart day

I've been listening to Caston, a podcast about knitting. Today I listened to two episodes (only 75 more to go) while adding the sleeves (finally) to my Camden sweater.

Later, I canned sweet and dill pickles, then made a wonderful dinner of corn on the cob (from the neighbor), bacon wrapped asparagus, and Caesar salad.

Pretty great day.

The offending dog

I think the skunk won.
