A Battastic Day!

We had a batt making party at my house yesterday! Oh, how much fun we had! Chris from Up Stream Alpacas, Amanda from Wooly Panda Workshop, Loretta, Monique, Kirsten, and I all donated to a giant pile of fiber and made batts! It was Battalicious and so much fun:)







It was truly a very fun adventure! Thanks for coming over everyone! Oh and Chris thanks for feeding us all:)

Knitting

I am knitting a plain ribbed scarf with the fractal spun handspun! I really love the subtle stripes and it is so soft and scrumptious!




Knitting with handspun is awesome:)

Today's Spinning

Well here is today's spinning for the Tour. I really like how this merino fluffed up in the plying. I bought the roving from Greenwood Fiber Works. She does a really nice job with her fiber!

I spun these two skeins for a sweater for my hubby!





I also spun some very pretty singles!

Spinning for the Tour

I spun from a batt yesterday! I tried core spinning! It is so not for me to slow! But I did make a bracelet with the finished yarn.



I used the rest of the batt to spin this skein! I love it!

I made this!

Okay I know it is just yarn, but I love it so much I don't even want to knit it:)
I bought the fiber from a great dyer on etsy Wooly Panda Workshop. The colorway is Plum-Headed Parakeet, I got 338 yards of heavy fingering weight yarn out of 4 oz of Polwarth Top!







I love it and have no idea what to make! Any ideas????
