I finally finished a few more things! This morning, I finished my fingerless mitts. I'm really excited about them- they're so comfy and I love the pattern on them.
I did the second one with a longer basketweave section. It looks a lot better. I also changed the thumbhole decreases slightly. I really need to get this pattern written up and tested.
Yeah, I really need to sit down and write out several patterns.
I also finished spinning my silk! It's exciting because I haven't finished a big spinning project before this.
I love how it turned out, but it's also a little disappointing to do all that work for 90-100 yards. I'll find something awesome to make with it, though. I'm still really proud!
I rearranged my stash a bit, too. I wanted the little shelves I had for a stand for the keyboard my parents brought me. I grabbed some more of the little white wire stands from the dollar store (2.50$ each, not bad!) and set things up like this.
It's nice to go through the stash and get a chance to actually see what you have. Once I finish some more projects, I'm pretty excited about starting some new stuff.

love how the silk worked up. i dont think i could be a spinner, so much work for so little reward. too many steps to get to the finished result.
ReplyDeleteI finally finished my sailor blues shawl! just need to take some piccies but it came out beautifully !
Oooh, I am so excited to see your shawl!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm surprised I have the patience for spinning. I find it very simple and meditative, though.
