tutorials

I have just spent the entire evening watching tutorials on the web hosting site for the nhsdg and I still didn't find my answer. Ugh

advent socks

I have one more stripe left on my first advent sock. The rate I'm going it may be advent to new years instead of Christmas. 

A new beginning

I have become the new webmaster for the NH spinners and dyers guild, and so I'll also try to post some stuff here. I've joined the back to back challenge  our nhsdg team so I'm sure I'll have lots to share

Manx loaghtan project

For Christmas this year I'm knitting Brianna a pair of mittens with flowers on them,  so I need some green for the leaves and stems.  I got this from Amy King  at Spunky Eclectic a couple weeks ago at the NH Sheep and Wool festival.    

It's manx loaghtan, which is a sheep that has 4 horns,  they're pretty handsome. 

 

This was a 4 Oz pkg so it only took me a day and a half to spin and ply the whole thing up,  and just in time took because the breed study for June starts on Wednesday.

 

Next up targhee :)

Broken arm plying

2 weeks ago I fell skating with my daughter and broke my wrist. I went in for surgery a week later and have had my cast replaced since then with a removable rigid splint. Since then I've regained enough mobility in my left hand to type and knit, and spin on my drop spindle. I start OT tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to more twist mobility  but it's going to be a long road ahead.

A little hatmaking

Working on a Christmas present for my niece.  She went to Peru last year and I off handedly said to bring me back some yarn. She did.  She brought back an oversized under tied hank of tangled singles.  I balled it up and let it sit until a project idea came to me. So I'm crocheting a hat, and will use the remaining yarn in a pair of corresponding mittens.  So far it's just a circle.

Breakfast

So today's topic is"journal about breakfast".

I like to eat a big breakfast and smaller lunch,  so I typically have eggs and something else,  today I had sausage,  eggs,  and an English muffin with grape jam on it.  I'll be satisfied until lunch which won't be until about 2 pm today. It was delicious.
