I've been so busy crafting I haven't posted! Yeah, right. Anyways, I do have some stuff to show off.
1) Spinning
I attended a Roc Day hosted by the local handspinners guild. I decided to try my hand at drop spindling and bought the tools to create this:
Top: undyed Cotswold, purchased at Roc Day. Bottom: hand-dyed "Smokestack" Bluefaced Leicester purchased online.
All yarn is 2-ply: the Cotswold ranges from worsted to bulky weight, and the BFL from sport to worsted.
I don't have any idea what I'll do with the Cotswold; the BFL may become a shawlette or pair of slippers.
I enjoy spinning a lot but drop spindling is too time consuming for me. I want a Hitchhiker! Well, it'll go on my list of stuff I want but don't want to pay for quite yet.
2) Crochet
My brother- and sister-in-law are expecting a boy in a couple of months. I'm working on another Lion Baby Bath Wrap for them:
3) Knit
For me, I've got a tank top
(need to finish the straps and knit the wrap overlay)
and my purse project is a little bag from a book my mom gave me for Christmas:
Ok, not so exciting. There's a picture of the finished item in the above link -- and I've made a bunch of progress on mine since I took this picture last Friday.
