Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Since I have been having so much fun with my handspun Aeolian #2 I thought I would share pictures.



It is farther along then this but getting a shot of it on the needles is getting harder and harder. The melding colors really seemed to work and in person I really love it. I am almost to the edging which I am doing the alternate version of so I don't run out of yarn. The edging on this shawl uses up an amazing amount of yarn. My last one used up almost 65% of the total amount of yarn I started with. Crazy, I know.

I also finished the Poppy Flower Fiber yarn.



I ended up with about 490yards of light fingering yarn. Maybe socks with this one. We will see.

I also signed up for a pattern club of sorts. You get a pattern every other month for a total of 4 and a 5th bonus one at the end of the year. Way cheaper then any yarn/pattern of the month club plus I can stick to my handspun quest. I have even sold some yarn, which was liberating.

The first pattern is called Pampas and I just love it. I have decided to spin the yarn for it and I am not sure I will use the whole amount of beads it calls for, 5000, but I will use some. Here is the roving.



I think the color will be perfect. Close to what the designer used but totally my own.

Stay tunded for finished shots of Aeolian, hopefully next week.
