Spinning Has Taken Over

This is my third skein of handspun. It was a roving of Gale's Art merino called Rose Garden. I bought it last year from The Loopy Ewe after I bought my Majacraft Little Gem. I did not want to spin with it until I had a class. I took a spinning wheel class in March and haven't stopped spinning since. This is a two ply yarn and is about 153 yards. I am not sure what I am going to knit with it as of yet. I am excited to though.

The Final Swap

These are the socks I knitted for my final swap package. They went off in the mail last week to Washington. I have decided to lay very low on the swap front. I loved doing it and met some really nice people. It tends to cut into my knitting time. There are some projects I want finished yesterday! These were a fun knit, it is hard to remain focused when the finished object is not for someone you will see wearing the item. I hope my swap partner will love them.
