The knitting continues – today this blue yarn will become the slippers that Steve requested earlier this week. It is a super simple pattern and will be done in short order. And, really – thank goodness for stash!
I have also been trying to spin a few minutes a day – which for me has been working out to evening spinning for a few minutes each night. During the week, I got one bobbin done. My goal is an actual 4-ply lace weight yarn. This is some old vintage Spunky Club Polwarth fiber in the “Hungry” colorway. Which after yesterday, I am certainly not! But, it is spinning up beautifully!!
Let’s get to the links, shall we?
This week has some good ones – and again, lots that can be some last-minute gift knitting:

I hope your holiday weekend is going well and that you are not still in a turkey coma! See you back here tomorrow!!
I hope to have a wool weekend. Your links are very inciting. Tomorrow will be LYS shopping day (maybe) as it’s been months sense I’ve been there. Happy weekend!
I love the colors of your spun yarns – yummy!
I a) will be on the Mall 21 Jan 2017 and b) will provide at least one hat, not including the one I will be wearing! R U coming? Hope so and that we can meet up…tbc!
Cheers~
I’m in awe of you spinning a 4-ply lace weight; it’s lovely so far! Lamb’s pride brings back memories as that was what I knit matching sweaters for the boys with. Of course, they complained that it was “too itchy” and hardly wore them, but it was nice to knit with.
Ooh, I have a bunch of Lamb’s Pride Worsted… maybe some of my people need slippers this year!! Lovely links. Thanks!! I’m looking forward to a woolly weekend!
Thanks for all the links! I love seeing new patterns. I have less Christmas knitting than I did last year, than goodness.
I’m in a perfectly lovely Gilmore Girls coma!
Your spinning is beautiful! And so many great links – thanks
I love what you’re spinning – those colors are so pretty! and thank you as always for the links. I offered to make Sara the Pussy hat (she’s 95% certain she’s going to the march) … but she declined.
I love your goal of spinning a bit every single day. I’m trying to read a bit of Hamilton every single day but when there is a trip and family is involved that goes out the window. I’m hoping tomorrow I’m back at it.
