I'm Back! Progress Pics

First up is the lovely pair of sheep slippers my hubby got me for Christmas! I LOVE them! My feet are always cold and I would just dig around for an extra pair of socks in the morning- now I just jump out of bed, right into the slippers!!

This is my January selection of fiber from Traveling Rhinos (on etsy). I signed up for the whole year after doing a three month trial membership. I love every package I get- batts + roving + embellishments =fiber bliss!!!

Here is one of my youngest socks- he saw this yarn and followed me around the house until I cast on a sock for him- it's Baby Boom in Sedona. I only have one skein so I hope it's enought for socks (he's only 4 so it might be okay)

The next two are my spinning. These are the Carbon colorway for Sheep to Shoe- about five of the eight ounces- 375yds sport weight. I navajo plied it to keep the colors together- I'm very proud of the evenness of the twist etc.- it almost looks too normal though! (Someone commented that it looked like it was commercially spun- am I wierd that I didn't take that as a great compliment??)


I hope to be posting a little more regularly now that the holidays are behind me and I'm more organized (BAWAHHAHAHAHAHA!!)
