Finally, MONKEYS!

Apr 29

Posted by Theresa in Crafting, Personal | 1 Comment

I know, I’ve been promising and promising!  But here they are.  They still need the toes grafted, I’ll do that tonight, and put up more pics after…. modeled even?  but now, without further ado…

The Pair
Monkey Socks

A leg
Hand knit monkey socks

The Toe to be Grafted

The only note I’ll make for this pattern is that it is most definitely NOT written for 2-at-a-time.  Cookie A. writes grewat patterns, but she is very obviously a DPN sock knitter, and the pattern did not translate easily to magic looping 2 at once.  That having been said, I love the pattern.

Oh, and I should also note that the leg is very snug for me.  as in, I can barely get it on over my heel… but I can, just, and I love the look, so it will survive.  With wear, I hope it will go on a little easier, but really, I’d rather a snug sock than a loose one.

Yarn Everyday Challenge

Apr 6

Posted by Theresa in Crafting, Personal | 2 Comments

On one of my message boards, I am participating in a “yarn everyday for 30 days” challenge. Every day, I am spinning, dyeing, or prepping fiber to spin, for a minimum of 20 minutes. Then posting pictures in the forum. Its a fun challenge, and has several hidden benefits, which can be reaped by both me and by my customers.

Benefit 1, more yarn and fiber available to be bought. That is always a good thing.

Benefit 2, My skill level increases with steady and regular practice. This is true of any fiber artists, at any level. The more you do, the better you do it.

Benefit 3, its super fun, and means I am taking more photos of my work.

With that in mind, some pics of the previous days’ works?

April 1st- Merino Fiber, spun at about a 36 wpi

Handspun singles 36 wpi

April 2nd- Lots of dyeing happened… about 22 ounces. Plus spun more of the merino

crystal city fibers dye work

April 3rd- More merino

crystal city fibers merino

April 4th- Plying

crystal city fibers plied merino

April 5th- spun silk at 40wpi and plied to some 40 wpi alpaca -

alpaca silk lace yarn

I probably won’t post a pic everyday here on the blog, but I’ll update every few days anyway. Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Please ignore the scrappy mess on my floor. It gets that way when I am crafting… I just throw things over the side of the desk as I work… I really need a new trash can for that space…
