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.

Purty new things

Hey errybody that may still read this. Sorry bout an extreme lack of updates. Over winter i managed to knit two really awesome hats, some scarves, and now that brings me to the summer knitting season. I picked up the Spring/Summer Vogue knitting issue, and fell in love with the first pattern in it- for a really gorgeous beaded shell. I'm not sure if i'll do the beading or the ribbon work, but who knows? I just hope to have it done for the beach, and as this is my first really complicated/wearable item i hope it turns out at least 'pretty good'. So, here a pic of the "finished product" as in the magazine: And here's what i have thus far: The yarn the pattern calls for (and for once the one i used) is Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale" which i got 7 skeins for $33, amazing price thanks Kathy at Kathy's Kreations. I'll keep this updated as i move along, and try to get some pictures of those hats up too!
