Some spinning, new listings and finished socks

Yesterday started out with me sitting down knitting on the Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Dyed - Knitted - Pretty n Pink - Adult Ladies Socks - Size 5.  But I put them down to go and do some spinning.

However, I didn't finish filling up this bobbin due to hearing about the San Bernardino Shooting.  So I came downstairs and posted a new listing, while listening to the news.

Newly listed:

Then once I had them listed, I went back to knitting on the Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Dyed - Knitted - Pretty n Pink - Adult Ladies Socks - Size 5.  I finished them around 11:30 pm last night.  I just finished washing them and have them on my sock blockers drying.

Today I hope to finished filling the third bobbin and start plying, that is if I can get rid of this Migraine.

 



The day passed by too fast and I forgot that I didn't blog

I took this weekend off from knitting, to relax my hands.  However, this morning I was right back to knitting once again.  I was so engrossed in my knitting that the day passed by me, before I realized I didn't blog.  Sorry everyone!

Anyways I'm here now to post just how much knitting I did today.  I started off my morning knitting on my new pair of Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Knitted - Dyed - Pink - Alpaca - Adult Ladies Socks - Size 5

I only need to knit 24 more rows, before I finish the leg.

Then I picked up the Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Knitted - Black - Alpaca - Infinity Scarf

This scarf is knitting up fast, it won't be long now before I will be binding off and sewing the ends together.

The last thing I knitted on today and only just finished working on for the night is the Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Knitted - Purple Orchid - Merino - Cabled - Hat.

I only have a few more rows left to knit and this hat will be finished.  The day passed by me so fast, that now I will put my knitting away until tomorrow.

Knitting first Spinning later

Well, Friday I after showing off my knitting and handspun dyed alpaca yarn.  I was supposed to go and do some spinning.  However, I never got around to getting into the spinning room, to spin, just to wind one skein of handspun dyed alpaca into to a center pull ball.

Then I came back downstairs and started back knitting.  Not on the new pair of socks with the newly handspun dyed yarn.  Instead I went back to knitting on the Spinning Ginny Original - Handspun - Knitted - White - Alpaca - Adult Ladies Socks Size 5.

I really like how this sock is looking!  I may just start a new trend on my handspun knitted socks.  LOL

Saturday morning, I woke up bright and early (4:13 am to be exact) and after taking Sue-Chi out and then going through my normal routine.  I finally sat down and started knitting on the Spinning Ginny Original - Custom Ordered - Handspun - Knitted - Dyed - Pretty n Pink - Alpaca - Adult Ladies Socks - Size 6 (Customer changed mind on sock size and decided to go with a size 6 instead of size 7).

23 rows knitted in 1 hour 35 minutes 55 seconds.  Not a bad start for a Saturday!

Then 7 hours 31 minutes 29 seconds later, the first sock looked like this.

Then Sunday morning I finished up the sock

I had every intention of starting on the mate, but something came up and so I ended up in the Spinning room at 1 pm spinning and almost had the first bobbin refilled again, before stopping for the day.

Quite a lot was accomplished this weekend.  Hoping to accomplish even more this week, so stay tuned.
