Here’s some of my latest spinning:
Corriedale top dyed and spun by me.
More corriedale, spun by me but dyed by Pieces of String to Small to Save. The colors are so pretty and subtle.
I have to admit, my ladybug is being a bit neglected! My god! I’ve been obsessed with knitting Rusted Root and this hat:
A thorpe out of my very own handmade yarn (and some rio de la plata) for my brother’s girl friend (if I can call her that (boys are so wierd)). I will finally get to meet her in two weeks. I can’t wait to fill her ears with embarassing details about my baby bro! I made him one as well, so they will be matching cuties.

I’m very excited because on Sunday, me and my dear friend Sharon are driving to Kalispel, MT to visit the amazing yarn store Camas Creek Yarn. I’m planning on buying yarn for one of these three sweaters:
Lush and Lacy Cardigan by Sweaterbabe
Hmmmmmm….decisions decisions. I think I’ll let the yarn selection lead me to my choice – unless there are any strong opinions out there??
yay! for knitting with your own handspun!! and dyeing.
