Or like a spindle baby!!!
Just a little something I've been teaching myself lately. It's satisfyingly mindless, and I love the outcome.
Right now I'm working on making something a little more manageable instead of this bulky yarn. I, myself, love a good bulky yarn, but the yardage is short, and I can't think of anything to make out of them. So now I'm working on some amazing olive green merino (which is as soft as a babies rear...softer) and trying my best to make it thinner!!
And by the way, by making my own yarn, I'm saving lots of money!! Not that I'll never buy yarn again, but a decent sized hank of handpun yarn goes for $30 easily on ETSY. Not that I'll ever get good enough at this to sell mine, but it does mean that I won't be spending $30 on handspun yarn!
this is my very first attempt, and very uneven, but pretty nonetheless. It's not finished though, it's hanging out, wrapped around a paper towel roll....because I'm ghetto like that, and haven't bought a real spool.
This stuff came out really pretty, just not my colors. But it's my first spun and plied FINISHED yarn, so I'm keeping it, and making something out of it FOR MYSELF! But I probably won't get around to it until after Knitting Christmastravaganza. yeah, you read that right.
Alright, and now for some answers to questions....
The birthday monster!! I'm glad some of y'all liked it so much!! It's a free pattern on Ravelry, but since I didn't make it up myself, it won't be going in the ETSY store, for legal reasons. But if you really want one, I can make one for you, just e-mail me, and we can work out the details!!
Moose is doing ok...I'm still pretty worried about him, and headed back to the Dr. today for more fluids and food. I've found a cat food that he actually is eating on his own, only problem is, it will be about $3 a day....yikes. I just hope that after this is all over he's not a picky kitty, 'cause that's a 'spensive diet!!
Oh, and just so you know, I don't know who you are when you leave comments in you leave your name out of it!! I really appreciate the well wishes for Moose, Anonymous, and I'd like to know who you are!!!
Oh, and some pics from the dog beach. Polly and Jäger had a blast!
We're angels, see?
Such a poser...
Hey, Jäger! Stop posing and go play like a normal dog!!
J meets some ridgebacks....I love the ridgebacks.
See ya!
