My stories of jewelry making, spinning, knitting, and all things fibery.

Hooray! Making Progress

Stella is finally complete.  Her beautiful fleece yielded four skeins that I will dye in the spring. I'm thinking a vest for myself. 

Melissa's black alpaca slouchy hat is almost there...but is looking a bit too large.  I see some ripping on the horizon.



The newest fiber on the wheel is a multi-color roving that I bought very long ago.  My other daughter Christine saw it in my stash and thought it would make a fun pair of mittens.  I'm spinning it loose and slubby.  It should make about four skeins, way more than required for the mittens. So I guess there'll be a neckwarmer or hat to go along.
