Roses and Birds

This week has been busy, but I did manage to complete a couple of things.

The first Bird in Hand mitten is completed. I took it over to my friend’s house for a try on session. It fit perfectly and she has declared herself in love with it. Yahoo!! She is not a knitter, but she appreciates hand knit items. Her DH even liked it. So now to cast on for mitten #2.

I had 4 oz of this Merino roving and I ended up with 496 yards of 2 ply yarn, 18 WPI. This is lovely and soft yarn, really squishy too. I’m going to try my hand at designing a lace scarf or stole and this will be the yarn I use.

    The mitten turned out soooo lovely! How DO you spin yarn this fine???? This is my goal in spinning to be able to spin lace weight and sock yarn. It sure is beautiful!
