wednesday, a sad day

 

started the day knitting a few more row
just to find out, i made a mistake … and couldnt find out what or wehre or why, it must be in the chart somewhere
so - unpicking it all 13 rows :( :( now i am really annoyed and frustrated, because i have nooo clue where i went wrong
expect a few days - or more - to pass before i can knit on here

so i sat down and knitted more squares and finished the 4th batt of merino silk mix, its now all ready to be spun

and before bedtime, i spun a tiny tiny bit :D

rainy monday

 

i made the spikes for the arms or my yellow top, and started the body round,
this made my brain smoke, so i blocked the spikes, and knitted a bit more of my shawl, 8th row started

and then i was bored enough of all my going projects, i dragged down my drumcarder
and my 100 g black merino, and 100 g black merino/mulberrysilk mix, and started to blend them together
why you ask, well i got some blue bats in the same mix, and i got a shawl in mind, which i gonna do with this

sunday

 

yesterday i finished the top part of my summer tank top
the next few days will be spent to knit the little arm accents, and then 40 or 50 cm of body … this will be sooo boring

then i played with my box of wool - made a sample strand of each for a friend
braided them all, and spun a tiny little 4ply sample - maybe you can see it on the gray pack in the foto ?
its just enough to feel if i want to cuddle or not :D

and i started the 7th row of my shawl
