Purple fuzz is finished :-)

Oddly enough my cell phone was the best at actually capturing the color of this yarn. SO...this is my first real homespun yarn. I have practiced a lot with little skeins of stuff but nothing significant. This is a bulky weight yarn with 7 wpi and 91 yards. Not sure what I am going to do with it just yet. But I'm pretty happy with it for a starter :-)!

A little break from Rogue

So the sweater is coming along. The hood is finished all that is left is the sleeves. I need a break. I have been busting my butt on that so I figured I would take a little break and play with some new toys. So with the new drop spindles I finally started spinning the purple roving I purchased from MDSW 2 years ago. I'm still having issues with consistency in my width as you can see But hopefully with practice I will get better. I have 4 oz. of this roving to work with! It is a hand painted Finn Top. I like the spindles so far. I did have Dale put notches in the side which have made it a lot easier.

Rogue almost made it...

Well it is Friday the 13th...ugh and here it is. Hey I got pretty far in a very short period of time! But sadly I don't think I can finish the hood and knit two sleeves by tomorrow. He's not worried about it but I just like to push myself to try and make deadlines. The new goal is next week! I hope to have the hood finished this weekend and at least start the sleeves. I think I can do it we shall see. So far I am pretty happy with it.

Rogue coming along

This is just a cell phone pic but it shows how far along it has come. I am about 25 rows from splitting the front and back. Still a SLIM possibility of me finishing it by Valentines day. I am gonna push it.
