Working vigilantly to finish projects in order to start on new ones

Well, here I go the beginning of a new work week and a new year.  Time for me to really plow in and work vigilantly to finish knitting projects like the Handspun - Knitted - Maleficent - Mohair - Irish Lace - Cowl

Spin up some more White Alpaca Batts from Bellagio's Fleece into 3 ply skeins of yarn and then dye them

and finish knitting up socks for my mom and brother

so that I can start on new projects.



Finished, New listing, New Project, Spinning, Knitting

Afternoon Everyone!  Sorry I'm late!!  I've been busy taking photo's and listing the Handspun - Knitted - Cornflower - Suri Alpaca - Lace Scarf.  I finished this scarf early Saturday morning, washed and blocked it.

This morning I took some photo's and then listed it on my website.

Also on Saturday I started on a new project.  I pulled out my skein of Handspun - Maleficent - Mohair - Yarn and started casting on for a Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Knitted - Maleficent - Mohair - Cellular - Cowl.  I say this is original as I'm designing this Cowl myself.  Its a little slow going, right now and this is how far I've gotten.

This yarn started out as Mohair locks from https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhoenixFarmFiber, who dyed the locks this beautiful dark purple and named it "Maleficent".

I finally finished filling up the third bobbin of White Alpaca

The first bobbin weights 4 7/8 ounces - 2 ounces (for bobbin) = 2 7/8 ounces

The second bobbin weights 4 5/8 ounces - 2 ounces (for bobbin) = 2 5/8 ounces

The third bobbin weights 4 3/4 ounces - 2 ounces (for bobbin) = 2 3/4 ounces

The total weight of spun single yarn is 2 7/8 + 2 5/8 + 2 3/4 = 8 1/4 ounces

Shortly after this, I began the plying process and this is how much I spun before I stopped spinning for the day.

Then I moved on to start knitting on my mom's Christmas present, the leg is getting longer. 

I'm guessing 2 more pattern repeats, but it could be 3 repeats more before I start the heal flap.

Then I picked up my brothers Christmas present, the leg is getting longer.

I'm guessing 2 more pattern repeats, but it could be 3 repeats more before I start the heal flap.

Sunday I took a break from all of the above and enjoyed the day with my husband.
