Dye, Spin, Knit!

Filed under: Summer of Spin, knitting, spinning — mamae @ 4:04 pm

This is 8oz of BFL I dyed and spun up on my new Lendrum.

Pattern: Look How Pretty My Yarn is Shawl by my friend Michelle.

I added 3 extra repeats of the *yo,k2tog* repeat at the end for a little more of a lacy effect.

Gifted to my step-mom for her birthday. Happy Birthday Neenie!

Welcome Home Lucy!

Looky at what Mama got!

Meet Lucy. Lucy Pevensie

(We are a little caught up in Narnia right now at Chez Mama.)

I joined this Club. Steph is a master at inspirational carding. (She is just an inspiration to me, period. So freaking nice and talented…) Damn temptress got my wheels turning….

Anyway… my Ashford Joy felt a little limiting when it came to spinning bulkier yarns. I stopped into Spinster Yarns and fibers one day and started playing with their Lendrum…. and BOOM. I sold my JOY and bought the Lendrum in like 2.5 seconds flat.

I am spinning this summer…. The Summer of Spin 2008 is born.

And yes… Michelle... you are not the only Canadian woman in my life anymore.
