Fiber Madness

See, I told you there would be one coming up. The last few weeks I’ve been making up for the time I’ve been idle as far as fiber-arts are concerned. I finished spinning the merino/silk blend I got from Adrian at Hello Yarn. It turned out well, but I didn’t calculate yardage, but it’s roughly a DK weight. I had a bobbin of this sitting on the wheel for about 7 months before I got to the other half of the fiber.

Then I grabbed a fiber I had dyed way back when. So far back that I can’t find a corresponding picture of the fiber. Once again, in too much of a rush to calculate yardage, and it’s a worsted to semi-chunky weight.

On the WIP front, my cousin is currently pregnant with her first child, and she already knows it’s a boy. Given that information, I decided to crochet up the Playful Pineapples Afghan from Pineapple Afghans for Baby (Leisure Arts). It’s done in Caron Simply Soft in Berry Blue using a G hook. I’m only about 20% done with it and I need to crack the whip and get it done. Sadly, I had made one in white previous to this for a friend of mine, took pictures, and have NO IDEA where the pictures are. There is a high probability they are on my dead laptop.

Then I got a package I ordered. Wonder what these could be?

I’ll give you a little hint with a picture of ALL my handspun.

Yep that’s right. I finally got myself a swift and ball winder!

Now my yarn won’t be all skeinky! Get it? Yeah, I know, but bad puns are my speciality!
