During the last few months I have been trying to really practice at my spinning. So the results of practicing since about July ending up like this:
Green/Orange Blend – I really have to take some more serious notes on what type of fiber, but as I was just “practicing”, I was spinning with whatever I had or could get my hands on, not thinking that I would actually use it for anything because I was just “practicing”. Well this blend of light green/dark/green/orange spun up into a fairly thick 2 -ply, which I knitted into a cowl neck scarf for my daughter for Christmas.
Blue Blend – This was spun on weekends up in the Catskills, also a 2-ply mid weight. It was knitted into a pair of Maine Morning Mitts for my daughter-in-law also for Christmas.
60/40 Border Leicester/Angora – This blend was spun into a lighter 2-ply about sport weight & then knitted into a scarf for my niece’s dearest friend.
I will post pictures of the finished objects as soon as I can get out to my other computer where I have these pictures stored. It has turned into a frozen tundra around here this weekend and I would have to blast the heater in my studio if I dared to venture out into the cold, brrrr…..
