These are two pics of the last cowl I made for my cousin's birthday. I used Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool in the oatmeal colorway. It used up most of the skein and I was pretty pleased with the end result. This time I was able to do the flower according to the pattern rather than two little flowers from a crochet flower book that I had the last time. My cousin loved it!
And, finally, the first finished hand spun skein of the year! I'm not quite sure about the yardage because I seem to be inept in figuring out how to measure from my niddy noddy. So, I have no details except that I have more than enough singles spun to make a hat for Michael. I learned that I will probably not spin singles again for a long time. They were pretty kinky and calmed down slightly after their bath but not enough for my liking. The next fiber I have is pink and the fiber is from Spinner's Hill Top. The singles on my spindle look so pretty and I am so excited to ply them!

What size is your niddy noddy? Bring it to the next knit or spin night and we can figure it out :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely will, Angela! Thank you! :-)
DeleteSo cute with the little flower! At the Marcellus Library, everyone around there is so crafty and I was excited to see this felted scarf program last week. They were using the fibers to make scarves -- I think they laid the fibers over a piece of fabric or something, then they were going to put them in the dryer to set them, like felt. I couldn't really understand it, but I was impressed! They do a Wooly Wednesdays program that's almost impossible to get into because it fills up so fast, and they also have a "Knit Lit" group where I think they knit and talk about books.
ReplyDeleteWould you share this pattern? It is no longer on Ravelry. Karencowdymurphy@gmail.com
