lookie what I have in my hot little hands



it is so soft and I started spinning some up and it is spinning so fine (which is what I wanted). Even Rohan commented on how soft it is, he wanted to cuddle it in bed LMAO.

Speaking of Rohan, I took him to the dr this morning, he has a middle ear infection................and tonsilitis................and a chest infection. That boy sure doesn't do illness in halves.

well I had the corriedale and merino singles sitting in my knitting basket forever, there was not much of them so I was never going to get much once they were plyed, I decided to try the navajo plying method and I have to say I am rather happy with the end results, here are the two corriedale yarns (the merino is still hanging up to dry...





**Update**
here is the merino

Well I have been working on the Tendrils pattern for the last few days-week it was going along slowly but well, no mistakes or anything. Well I thought today that my stash (yes I now officially have a stash LMAO) was starting to look messy so thought I would tidy it up, I pulled everything out of the basket and sorted through it started to put it all back neatly only to discover that I had dropped about 10 stitches from the Tendrils OMG I sat there for half an hour trying to pick them all up but it just wasn't happening, so **sob** I ended up frogging it. I am so upset. I am thinking I might just make some socks, those ones that Cookie are selling are nice, I particularly like Millicent and the German stocking one.

I am up to the foot on my snakes on a sock, I'm nearing the end!

Oh and I got some fibre from the That Spinning Place Etsy store. There was some other fibre that I want to get but I need to use Garry's credit card and can't do that right now grrrr (the other one didn't need a card as its an Aussie seller hehehehe harharhar). I can't wait till it arrives and I can start spinning it up.

Anyways, have to go cook some dinner for the hungry monsters...

I bought some bamboo straight needles the other day from lincraft, I love the dpn's that Orghlaith sent me, they are so easy to work with, so figured I would love straights, only problem is that the dpn's seem to have some sort of finish on them to make them smooth and help the yarn slip along it, but the straights just look like they have been sanded and thats it (which is probably true seeing as they only cost me 99c).

Does anyone know how I could get them to feel smooth, would some wood stain or something like that work, or is it more complicated then that? I'm not worried about wreaking them seeing as they were so cheap.

the other week I got a lovely parcel from Orghlaith full to the brim with beautiful gifts. I have been meaning to take some pictures, and I have to apologise (particulary to Orghlaith) about the wait but we need to get new batteries for the camera, the pictures today were taken with my old camera so the colours and quality are not as good.

first she sent some undyed knit picks merino lace weight with some kool aid for dying, I dyed it with the black cherry flavour, I was hoping for a solid colour but I think that I had too much wool for the pot so it has come out with different shades of pink, I do like it though. I am thinking of making this wrap from Knitty with it, but if anyone can suggest something better I am all ears.


next was some knitpicks sock yarn and some bamboo dpns (these have actually made me go out and buy some bamboo straights LMAO). I am making Snakes on a Sock with it. I am nearly finished with the heel.


Next is some metal knit picks dpns, the yarn on them in the pictures is something I happened across the other day at the shops, but I think I am going to have to frog it as it is looking a little big even though I have guage correct.


And last is some other kinds of sock yarn and some needle protector things. I'm not too sure what to do with this yarn, still tossing around ideas in my head lol. Oh and there was some green tea which I havn't gotten around to drinking yet, I'm bad lol.



Now to finished projects (well half finished), I completed the purple sock I was working on, it fits so nicely, I have alot of issues with the cuff but after 3-4 attempts I found a cast off method that actually allowed me to get my foot into it. I havn't started the second sock yet, I was thinking I would finish the SOAS one first then do the other purple then do the other snake.
