Casting on for Juno Blue Heron cotton

Ahem. I seem to have cast on for Juno. What happened was, I remembered about this cotton yarn in my stash that I bought in Baltimore, and then lost the label for. I cast on a clapotis with it not long after I bought it, but it wasn't really wor...

Peacock Two thirds peacock Ever diminishing peacock Purple three ply

This looks much less peacocky now it's finished than it did in progress, but the name remains anyway. The weird thing about it is that it often manages to look like blue-shading-to-purple, when it's actually blue and green, and neither shade of b...

Misc mixed fibre Purple merino three-ply Purple singles leftovers Pink wheelspun and Dashing in progress Peackcock yarn in progress Lots of fibre Test sample for peacock spinning

If there's a way to alter the order of the photos to the left, I can't work out what it is :-( So, in slightly bizarre order, my latest adventures in fibre: (top picture) this is my first attempt at carding, using all the stray bits of fibre ...

Blue Clapotis Scrap scarf

I don't yet want to spin in front of the TV - it requires too much attention, and it's still fun in its own right, so it seems like a waste - so just because I've been spinning, doesn't mean I haven't been knitting, too. We've been watching a lot...

Beginning Jaywalker

While I'm waiting for the dyed yarn to dry (it is looking more dyed as it dries, phew), I've cast on Jaywalker for friend-R. I've heard they come up tight, so I'm using that as an excuse to use slightly larger needles (2.5mm) which just happen to...

Clapotis-in-progress 1 Closeup clapotis-in-progress sock yarn

(I wrote some of this yesterday, but Firefox crashed before I could post it, and I was too frustrated to write it all again.) This is where I'm up to with the clapotis. Well, actually, I'm further along than that, because I've done another patte...

new yarn

Someone told me the other day that knitting doesn't count as a vice. Needless to say, said someone has never had the joy of opening a parcel from Get Knitted containing approximately £70 worth of gorgeous, gorgeous yarn. I'm not sure the colours...

I'm now lusting after Fleece Artist's merino sock yarn in burgundy, and several different Fyberspates yarns, most notably the wool and silk "Scrumptious" DK, and the blue faced sock yarn, both in "reds and plums".
