Handspun

Nothing too terribly exciting happening around Chez DK's.

I spun up one regular size spindle of wool. I will dye it when I have enough to knit a sweater. I think I need to bite the bullet and just get me a jumbo spool and flyer, so I can get twice the amount of yardage.

Worsted weight
12:1 ratio
8 wpi
108 yds.


I am very pleased how it turned out considering I hadn't spun in over a year.

I am knitting a scarf, but it will be awhile before it is completed because it is on size 3 needles, and all garter stitch all the time! :) It is a cool scarf though. I believe the name of it is "Serpentine Scarf". It will be a Christmas gift next year....heh, yes I am already starting.

And I will leave you all with another Piggle fix! Because seriously, doesn't she make you want to faint away dead from the cuteness? Yeah, me too! :)

Take care and God Bless!
