Middle son had such a good time learning to spin last weekend. He thought the wheel was cool, and he was determined he was going to make yarn he could knit with. He did an awesome job and actually made decent yarn. (Beginner’s yarn is actually amazingly fun, thick and thin, which is very hard for an experienced knitter to do. I can’t do it anymore, I’ve tried. shoot.)
Other photos are of some booties which are headed to Canada soon for a new nephew. They are supposed to be felted, but I think they’ll be too small and they seem fine now since they were knitted on #2s, I know that’s odd, but the pattern called for it. Anyhow, I think if I felted them they’d not felt properly since it’s such a dense knit already. The pattern sucks, however. I think there must be a mistake in RS/WS or maybe a row missing in patt. I had to adjust pattern for it to work. I have no clue what ’s wrong, but they weren’t fun to knit. Who knits on #2 for felting??? Duh.
Other lace photo is of my latest scarf project. It’s actually a narrow shawl, Trellis Scarf from an IK 2006 issue. It’s a lovely scarf from photos I’ve seen on ravelry, I hope mine is lovely when I’m done. Lace is so very time consuming, and it takes so much attention to the pattern. I don’t think I’ll ever memorize this pattern. No way. It’s 16 row of pattern. ugh. But I only started it on Friday night and I already have about 8 inches done, yay!
I’m on spring break from work and supposed to be cleaning my house. Blech. Where to start??
I am so annyoyed. I had the photos in this entry, hit one foul button and they were gone. Tried everything to put back, nothing is working that should be. Gotta dash, will try later. I hate ‘puters. What an effin’ waste of my last 30 minutes! ARGH!
