alas without a lad

so, i want to spin.

in a bad way.

and it's Knitty's fault. there's a blog/article about the one writer learning to spin. and it made me want to spin.

BAD. i won't rest until i do it. i get paid thursday, so i'm going to order some "roving" (i guess that's the term for card but unspun wool.) and make my own drop spindle. and im going to do poorly at it, but i'll get it.

and it will be awesome.

Yep, it's that time of the year again. So far, i'm maybe 2/3 done with a scarf for the boyfriend's mum for christmas. I'd like to also knit a scarf for his sister. I really just want to re-make Cotton Candy, but somehow i feel like that's cheating, since i already made that pattern before for previous boyfriend's sister. :/ So, i dunno. Maybe i'll make her a purse or something. Or a scarf with a different pattern. That's pretty much the update. Pictures ... sometime eventually. I wish i had the cash to buy the yarn for a sweater.

A quilt I made for my friend's baby, who is due in October!

So, i finished Molly's scarf! She loved it :) the mini-mittens too! Now i have to do a couple more scarfs, then i want to try a sweater... we'll see how that goes!Oh, and i picked up some new yarn at Jo-Ann Fabrics, they're making their own yarns now, it's called "Licorice." It's a landscape/100% wool, should look awesome felted! Merry Christmas :)

Yarnarchy!
