Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I have been knitting away on the MS3 stoles and have cobweb done through clue 3 and blue is about 1/3 done. Should be done by the time clue 4 comes out. Still loving them.

I also finally got my invite to Ravelry. Wow, is that place cool but talk about a time waster. I have to force myself to get off sometimes. I have also found a new pattern that I am obsessing over, Bee Fields. I LOVE this shawl but I am not sure whether to order the kit or just the pattern. I am thinking that some yarn that I am having Heather dye might be the perfect color for this. Guess we will see. Worst case the yarn will be made into something lovely and lacy and I will buy the pattern for sure.

I decided to today that it has been a LONG time since I spun anything or dyed anything for that matter. So since I am home with a sick little one I decided to break out the dye pot. I dyed some silk to go with this great alpaca I got from the Sweet Sheep.

This is my last one, I think, and it is beautiful but only 2oz so the silk is to stretch it out and add beads.

I also did 2 bundles of merino just because it filled up the pot and will leave me with something fun to spin besides the tons of stuff I already have. You can never have too much selection I say.

Here is Ocean Waters.


And here is Prepster. I know my 80's are showing through but that is what came to mind when I saw it.


Both should be fun yarns.

I also did some spinning. Well, plying of some left over bits. This is left over Nightshade with left over Midnight Blues from my brothers hat. I wasn't too sure this would look good together. Here it is before.

And here it is done. I think the finished yarn is great.
