Get your mind out of the gutter; I'm talking about this Brian.
We had our first Spinning group get together last Thursday night at The Yarn Sellar.
I'm hoping for a 2 ply light worsted weight yarn when I'm done. I'm not sure what I'll make with it, I guess that depends on how much yardage I get out of 8 ounces.
A coworker of mine happens to enjoy woodworking and offered to make me a bobbin for Lucille. This was really good timing since I was planning to order a couple more bobbins anyway. He finished it just as I was ready to begin the second bobbin of Brian.
Isn't it pretty?
It's the Metro Pullover from Oat Couture
I'm using Plymouth Galway Colorneps Yarn and I'm really happy with this choice. I'm making one teeny weeny modification to the pattern; I'm knitting it in the round because I don't want to finish the knitting and then have it hanging around for days weeks because I don't feel like seaming it, which is exactly what would happen!
The other project that I'm actively working on is a hat.
I know it doesn't look like much in this picture, but I've completed another couple of inches and hopefully, mine will resemble the one in the pattern when I finish it. I'm using some beautiful yarn that was handspun by my favorite Sheep and was gifted to me when we first met in person. It's been waiting for the perfect pattern and this seems to be it - what better use for a yarn spun by one friend than a pattern written by another?
I think this post pretty much catches us up on what has been happening around Noolieville lately, and I'm darn near caught up on blog reading. Anyone want to place bets on when I'll fall behind again?
Have a great day!
