Isn’t this just devine?

Hopi-3

Hopi-1

That’s 105g and 325yds of Superwash BFL, from Zen String.

It was quite striking before it was spun too!

I’m going to make a pair of socks from it from Cat Bordhi’s new book, but the cast-on for the pair I want to make requires some needles I don’t have, so I’ve ordered them and now I get to wait impatiently. *sigh*

Oh yeah, and the big grey blob is still a WIP – it’s just too hot/heavy to work on at the moment, sorry!

I’m knitting this big grey blob. It’s nearly finished, though the last bit of it seems to be dragging on.. I’ll show it off (and explain what it is) when it’s done ;)

I did this one this morning.. it went surprisingly fast, I guess it’s been a while since I’ve spun more of a worsted-weight yarn. I think I’m making longies for the wee one out of this.

101g of merino/bamboo, 435yds. Don’t know the actual WPI yet as it’s still drying :) No idea what I’ll do with it either, but I finished it!

“Sea Salt” was one of the colorways offered in Zen String’s fiber club back in March.



Oh yeah, I had a baby!

I’ve been MIA again, but for a VERY good reason :D

Odin

Cute, isn’t he?

Odin Sebastian Easter was born 07/07/07 @ 9:07am, weighing in at a hefty 9lbs 5oz.

I’ve been busy adjusting to having 3 kids at home, but I’ve been spinning again(I couldn’t spin while pregnant – no matter what I did my legs would go numb after a few minutes) and will have some new stuff to show off soon!
