ok gang, first things first- at this moment, my plan is to move this blog to a new address- please change your subscriptions? The new address of this blog (which should contain all the old posts and comments etc) is here. I'm going to stop updating this one, and eventually it will go away. I just can't afford to host two completely separate blogs and I think the new host has better space and bandwith allowances for similar $$. I may be making a mistake, we'll see.
As a special treat ;-) (ok to prove that I am not entirely fickle) I have some handspun to show you- it looks small but it is a LOT of lovely BFL-angora from EGMTK. It's taken ages to spin, and I plied it as a boucle-ish texture. i think I will knit a simple triangular scarf from this, probably in garter stitch. This is about a sportweight, but I'm going to treat it as a DK due to the texture and the fact that this yarn will probably bloom like nobody's business, given the angora content. Summer's almost here and I spend a LOT of time sitting by the pool playing lifeguard. It's knittin' season!
I also pulled out my next lot of spinning fibre so that I wouldn't go completely dormant- so watch this space.
Ok, now here's a pic of the little pendant I made Tara the other day (part of my frustration with current host is the weird treatment of rotated pics!! This should be turned 90 degrees but T-pepad has turned it back. GAH)
Before you say 'that's much better, really pretty, you're on the right track now!'- please know that I really don't like it much, but to a 6 year old it's pretty hot stuff ;-).
In return I promise to keep babbling about jewellry making off this blog, and confine it to my NEW blog at http://longleggedfly.squarespace.com. I hope you'll come take a look, but I know that as fibre people it may be of limited interest- I'll keep personal drivel and pics of kids on this blog for your amusement (ok, on the new version of this blog).
My goodness that's so confusing. I hope you will stick with me!
