tired spinner
Friday was a kidless day, and boy did I need it. Spent the entire school day down in my little workshop space, finishing spinning the red merino/lincoln/soysilk yarn that I think I blogged about a week ago. I ended up with a gigantic skein, something like 400 yards of the stuff, so I'm glad I like it. More pics on fickr. I was going to ply it with something and still might, if I decide to knit with it. 
In other knitting news, I have joined on the arms of the EZ pullover and am working the first set of decreases. I am going to have to spin a bit more but that's fine, I already have the batts.
I also did some weaving on Friday. I wanted to make a couple of table runners, and I have a ball of hemp yarn (handspun, but not by me) burning a hole in my pocket. I could sniff that stuff all day. And inhale. Anyway, I used hemp and natural cotton and linen and silk to make these:
You really do do it all! Love your quilts. Now I'm off to check out your dyed fabrics!
