Photo Friday

Ok, Sorry, once again, I am pretty late with my Photo Friday… but, at least it’s still Friday, right?

So, here are the pics, stuff that got hit with the camera today:

"Sunshine" - This is 3oz. of dized roving straight off my drum carder. Merino and Firestar. Because during a winter like this one (and here we don't get much sun) everyone needs a little extra sunshine.

"Surprise Me" - Batt 2 in the series. Another one of my whatever falls into the carder batts. this has a little bit of anything I may have carded up anytime in the past, leftovers and stuff. Full of color, its lots of fun.

THis one doesn't have a name yet. but it's a luscious soft merino dyed in pinks and purples and even a bit of blue. I haven't measured the WPI yet, but this is over 7oz and looks to be somewhere around a heavy worsted... YUM

So there you have it.  The fruits of my afternoon’s photo session.  Don’t worry, I did other things too, I just didn’t do a ton of photos today.  I did lots on Wednesday, and you have seen some of those already in the shop.  Today, when these were done, I finished spinning some low twist singles yarn (that I am still not sure how it will come out when it dries) and played with some other fibers…

Photo Friday

Yikes!  I had a very busy Photo Friday today!  But, I have pictures.  Later than usual, but here they are!

I haven't come up with a name for this one yet, maybe you can think of something. This is Merino/Silk yarn, and there is about 450 yards in 4oz here. Lovely, lovely yarn!

This one is Superwash BFL, 3 ply. I haven't measured the WPI yet, but looking, I think it is probably about a sport weight, and there is somewhere between 250-300 yards here. (I promise, I do have it written down, its just not here in front of me at the moment.)

Merino yarn, spun somewhat thick and thin on one ply (mostly towards the thick side), and thin on the other ply. It has a really cool effect, that wavy look I am starting to love.

This is my very first Art yarn, all washed and whacked. It really came out very cool, and is basically a thread-wrapped yarn with little coiled cocoons every few inches. This was spun from my own layered batts, one of which will be in the shop very soon.

A close-up shot of that Art Yarn

Sherbert Swirls - This is Punta fiber I got in a swap a while ago, one white ply and one blue and green ply. Very pretty!

Uraguayan Merino - so pretty and soft!

Finally, the Fiber! This one is "Electric". It is a blend of merino and firestar, and it was MEANT to be peacocky batts... but you know what? This does not say peacock to me. It says more of-- Electric! So there you are.

And this one. This is a blended Batt version of my Earthy Princess colorway. I haven't done Earthy Princess in a long time, but it was a colorway I very much loved. So here it is again, with a happy blend of about 70% merino, 30% bamboo!

Ok, so I was late posting my Photo Friday pics.  But you know, I really think you can understand why, with all these new things ready and waiting to be listed in the shop.  Each of these will be listed at some time over the next 2 weeks, so keep an eye out if you like something.  I will try to get at least one of them listed over this weekend, and then more after that!

Photo Friday

My Newest Batt, and my very first "art yarn" made from it's twin... "Deepest Ocean"

Progress on the craft room! New Shelves. (the thread stands will not be staying where they are, either.)

And... A MOSTLY clear desk. This will be the sewing/computer area, and likely the beading/photo area too for a while.

Happy Photo Friday!

Photo Friday


Removing a new Batt from my Fancy Kitty Drum Carder this week. I use a shelf Liner to make it come off nice and neatly.

There, now isn't that a pretty batt? I call it, "Will you be mine?" and it will be up in my Etsy shop today hopefully.

And yes, that’s me in those photos.  At nearly 24 weeks pregnant, I am not the most photogenic, but I tried. :)

Photo Friday

Friday again, so here are some new Photos for your viewing pleasure…  :)

Progress on the Blanket I am making for the newest little Beeba, coming in may.

a new set of stitch markers, coming to the Etsy in the next week.

Evergreen Mountain, 3.7 ounces of merino and bamboo... so pretty... on Etsy now.

Another new set of stitch markers, also coming to the Etsy in the next week or so...

Maybe next week I will actually remember to take a picture of me… you know… a belly shot?  It would be the first of this pregnancy if I Do remember.
