tuesday - part 1

 

mailman brought me the long awaited swift - my sweetone needs to attach me somehow some counter now

then i got a HUGE box with about 3 kilo each of texel and rhöne sheep
the smaller bat is some dirty texel, the other some dirty rhöne

after washing it shows quite a bit of vegetation :D
but 3 passes with the combs got rid of that

sadly it is rougher then i can handle it … it soaks now in some lanolin shampoo,  but i fear, this wont be usable for me
but then, the rhöne sheep is very long, i might give it a try to make some bouclee … it does remind me at older mohair fibers

on and on it goes

 

yesterday i spent a long time with sorting and washing the grey fleece again, all 3,5 dirty kilos are now washed - finaly - more
fleeces are coming soon

after washing the wool, i knitted a few golden rows again, and then a few squares of row 6

and before i went to bed, i did a little bit of spinning again

sundays work

 

i knitted 4 !!! square on the entrlac shawl
'and then a few rows on my golden  top :)
love how its going
sadly no way to see if it is right till i finished all 20 cm of the top of top :D

Saturday a spinning day

 

yesterday i sorted a bit of raw wool and washed it - boy thats a slow job !
then i knitted 2 rows, and desided its not a knitting day
and finished the 2nd bobbin :D

Friday the 13th

 

i spent all morning agin in the waiting room of my doc …
the only good of this is - i nearly finished a row of my entrelac shawl again
i hoped to finish it at night, but was so tired, i hit bed :D

then i started my summer top :D
the first 12 rows of 88 from the top part are knitted :D
starting with 144 stitches it will be at the end of the last row 380 stitches
but thats the more exiting part, because 88 rows is not so much
the i dont know how many rows i need for the 50 cm of body *yawns* scare me already

and finaly a tiny bit of spinning again :D

thursdays work

 

i have been up town again for some stuff, and came home quite some time after lunchtime :(
was able to knit 2 squares in the bus …. some more then later at night - needed again time to untie my brainknots

the modified gaugesquare is finished, found 1 more mistake in the print, but this was easy to solve.
the little one is the original pattern, which should be as long as the bigger one, but with my selfspun yarn, it was way
shorter, so i re wrote the pattern and added 2 leaves into it, now its 20 cm long, just like it is supposed to be :D
it will be a long long long knit to finish this top, so much i know by now *yawns
i need 18 repeats, 2 are knitted … and this all with 2,5mm needles :D

work of wednesday

 

started the 2nd bobbin of baby alpaka
knitted some more sunshine top, found a wrong marked square - well it found me - took me 2 hours to figure out what is wrong,
then my brain refused to work - and i knitted some more of my entrelac shawl :)
