I've been busy

In October, I made a push to actually knit some of my handspun, in particular some of the Abby batts I spun during this year's Tour de Fleece.



The above turned into the below as one example.



There was also a shrug but there will be no photos of that until I finish it up entirely.

I also wanted to make pumpkins, and here are my pumpkins, with a lovely twining vine on the foot, and poofy slouchy pumpkins on the ankle. Pattern for Pumpkins will come soon. These were done with Burnt Orange Holiday Yarns.

After Rhinebeck

I worked Rhinebeck in the Booth for Holiday Yarns and the TsockTsarina. I came home full of the urge to cast on, design, and spin - all at once. I met wonderful people, taught a few tricks, learned a few tricks, and discovered no matter how late I stayed up, I still woke up around 6 AM.

I feel like I have to open a new blog and myself get onto a schedule for blogging, and write about knitting. When I was younger, I used to Need to write like I need to breathe, and now, I'm more tuned into knitting and the fiber world, so I feel I need to write about that.
