WIP: Spring spinning

If I say "spring" a million times, will I get to feel like is spring? Fake it 'till you get it? It was 28 degrees this morning. Let's not forget I am writing to you from the South. That South that is very close to beaches and beautiful lakes. Weather is supposed to be warmer this time of the year. Someone did not get the memo.

While it doesn't feel like spring, I am spinning like it is. Wonderful, bright colors are flying off my wheel. I have spun eight ounces the past weeks. A new record for me. Handspun details: here and here.

Clara Yarn? Yes, please!

This list made me think about spring wishes and goals.

A great navajo plying video tutorial can be found here.

Have a great week!

One can never have too many hats

You know those days when all you want to do is crash early in bed? I’ve been having too many of those. Fire drills at work, sick daughter, not much knitting time complete my update. That’s all the blah for this post. Let’s get to the good stuff: wool!

I’ve been oooing and ahhing the many projects completed with this hat pattern. It was time to cast on. I am aiming towards a nice slouchy hat. The pompom is still in debate. 

Knitting with worsted yarn on size US 10 6.00 mm needles goes by faster than sound. Hopefully this little project will get my Soay mojo back. I still need to work on a sleeve and neckline. Is not that I’m racing anyone. I was knitting along with Bethany but as wonderful as she is we will see an FO post anytime now. Way to go Bethany!

PS-I'm having all kind of troubles formatting this post! Hopefully you can see the images centered. Wait! Who's that?  Wordpress is knocking on my door :-)
