New Years Spinning

I spun this fiber most of the day on New Years Eve and then plied it on New Years Day! It is called Story Book and was dyed by christinamariepotter on etsy:) The colors are a little off in the pictures that I took of the finished yarn. The yarn is a little more green and yellow then this! I am still trying to figure out how to get the camera to capture the colors just right!

Christmas Knitting Update!

So I did get it all done:) The last item was a sweater intended for my middle son, I had him try it on with the body and one are done and it was a little snug:( So I decided to give it to his best friend at the last minute. So I gave my self a bit of a knitting break on Christmas Eve and I finished the sweater Christmas morning. His best friend just happens to be my best friends son and they come over every year on Christmas so I gave it to him that afternoon and he loved it! So I got it all done in the nick of time this year and I am looking forward to knitting and spinning what I want to for a while:)

Sorry I didn't take pictures I was to worn out:)
My little son who got a sweater has been wearing his everyday and I might have to pry it away from him to wash it:) Love It!

Gaming Mitts

So yesterday I worked up a pair of gaming mitts:) One of my sons fencing coaches asked for them as a special request! I guess his hands get cold while he is playing his games:)

Ignore the dirty little boy fingernails!
