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

saturday

 

saturday was rainy and grey in grey :(
but my parcelman brought me 2,4 kilos of wool !
100 gram each, of 22 diffrent fibers (and 200 gram black for a future projekt)
then i knit an other 10 rows, just 10 to go, i count the stitches by now
and i filled the 3rd bobbin, just 1 to go - then i can ply them :)

fridays …. i like them

 

i spent the morning again at the docs, and finished row nr 6

then i moved out into the sunshine and did some spinning

later on i watched tv and knitted an other 2 cm of my top, just 20 rows to go now !

testspun a sample of some nice alpaka, but its not babyquality, and i am sooo spoiled by now

now THIS is again baby suri alpaka, and it is not just the baby quality, no its really a baby first cut *giggles*
its a tad paler in real, sadly i couldnt get the colour right

and this is my todays cup of coffee

thursday - oh so tired

 

and thats the reason why i didnt do very much

a tiny bit of knitting - a cm takes ages already

a little bit of spinning, which shows not at all - so no foto :)

and playing a bit with my grey wool … which is really fascinating
its rough … but it doesnt scratch at all !
and so many shades of grey

this is a 4 ply - which i knitted with 8mm needles
below a little sample, crocheted with a 4mm hook, was just a 2 ply
and a pile of fluff with the patches on it  - to show the colours

wonderfull sunny wednesday

 

and i spent it ouside, seperating little samples of alpaka wool
those here are ready washed, and i know, i need to get more of these :D

thursday will be spent outside again, and prepare some more for washing

Tuesday - part 2

 

i spun a tiny bit on my 3rd bobbin
and knitted quite a bit on the top
