What's on the production line? Last day for Sale #knitting #spinning #JANSALE

Yesterday, I stayed pretty busy, despite a long good conversation with my youngest son in Florida.  Once I got off the phone, I was back to knitting and spinning.  I kept the production line going, even if I didn't complete anything.  Here's some pictures of what I accomplished in 6 hours 7 minutes and 15 seconds.

17 1/2 rows completed on a new pair of Handspun Knitted Wildberry Colonial Wool Blend Boot Cuffs

First bobbin refilled once again and second bobbin started to be refilled.

I almost finished my mom's socks (4 more rows of the pattern and then toe take off time).  I finished the gusset on my brother's socks and started in on the instep.

 

Today is the last day to take advantage and

First Sale of the Year #knitting #spinning #JANSALE

Yesterday morning I was busy packaging up my first sale of the year!  A wonderful friend bought these 4 skeins of Handspun - Dyed - Alpaca - Yarn

After I came back from the post office from mailing off her package, I took pictures of the Handspun - Knitted - Wild Berry - Colonial Wool Blend - Boot Cuffs

sewed in the labels, printed out a label and then listed them on my website.  Then I started in knitting on another pair with the remaining yarn.

After getting this new pair started, I put it aside and headed upstairs to the spinning room to start spinning up more White Alpaca

I pretty close to refilling this first bobbin again, but needed to get back to my knitting.  So I stopped spinning and picked up my knitting needles again.  I finished the gusset on my mom's socks

and knitted quite a bit on the instep.  Then I put it down to start in knitting on my brother's socks.

When I started knitting on my brother's socks, I was at the beginning on the gusset (just starting).  Now the gusset is half way finished.

Then I rewound the 2 skeins that I dyed yesterday and listed them on my website.

Shoveling Snow this morning #knitting #spinning #JANSALE

Well, after shoveling the snow (roughly 1/2 inch) off my driveway, I finally picked up my knitting needles and started my day off. 

I now have 2 3/4 inches knitted on the mate to this pair of

Handspun - Knitted - Wildberry - Colonial Wool Blend - Boot Cuffs

which means that I still need 4 1/4 inches, before this pair is finished.

I wound off the 14th skein of Handspun 3 ply White Alpaca Yarn today and washed it.  Then I began plying up the 15th skein.

Soon I'll be ready to dye up some more Alpaca Yarn.  So stay tuned as tomorrow the dye pot is coming out.

I finished the heel flap and heal turn on the mate to my mom's socks and started on the gusset.

 

As for my brother's socks, well I only have 1 more row to knit on the leg and then I'll be starting on the heel flap. 

 

Don't forget though that this weekend

Busy last couple of days #spinning #knitting #JANSALE

The last couple of days I've been very busy knitting and spinning.  Sunday I came very close to finishing the first Boot Cuff and last night I managed to finish it and start on the mate.

 

Sunday I finished refilling the 3rd bobbin and then weighted all 3 bobbins, before starting in to ply up the 14th skein.

Bobbin #1 5 1/4 oz. - 2 oz. = 3 1/4 oz.

Bobbin #2 4 5/8 oz. - 2 oz. = 2 5/8 oz.

Bobbin #3 5 oz. - 2 oz. = 3 oz.

Total 14 7/8 oz

 

Starting to ply up the 14th skein of 3 ply white alpaca yarn.  Monday I almost had a full bobbin of 3 ply white alpaca yarn.

 

Sunday I was able to finish the leg on the mate to my mom's socks and start on the heel flap and came fairly close to finishing the leg on the mate to my brothers socks.

Today I'll pick up where I left on Sunday with my Mom's and brother's socks, trying to make up for time that was lost from yesterday.
