so, i know i was a naughty blogger and didn't post all week, but my baby daddy was off for the week and we capitalized on that time that we don't usually get to share with the baby and the two of us. it was a nice week, i still managed to get some stuff done...like this hat! how amazing! it's a custom order for a friend and it's not quite done yet but i can't get over how awesome it is! the main yarn is handpainted roving that i've shown pictures of before...superfine merino/cashmere blend. and the white is blue faced liecester/silk blend that i wrapped with a metallic pink thread....it's gorgeous, and so warm and squishy and soft.
then i spun this amazing cashmere for my fella!
i dyed it with chestnut, and gunmetal and jet black...it looks incredible! gonna make a nice cowl for him!.
thentheres this little beauty! same as above, cashmere/superfine merinoblend. handpainted. using a biit of experimentation and with the muses whispering in my ear, i wasnt sure how this would turn out.
these surprise tones of purple and blue came through. believe me i used not either of those shades of dye.
it was so fab, i felt it deserved no less than something fab when i spun it. so i added in some sections of some yellow cashmere yarn i spun awhile ago, and some cocoons of hot pink silk/mohair, and two colours of metallic thread. it really is awesome,
this is some polwarth roving i bought at the fiber garden. it felt like cheating using this cause i didn't dye it myself, but it was just too pretty not to get!
i spun an extreme thick and thin single then thread plied it almost supercoil
great big fat sections are way too squishy!
and amidst all that, i managed to get a cold, learn to knit (BARELY) and get the tree done. i like being busy~
beautiful!!
