Handspun Yummyness!

[knitfish]

This is the first yarn I have spun on my new wheel! I can't even believe how fast this spun up, it is about 75 - 100g of Merino wool from Ashford. I am kind of obsessed with this colour this season. Can you tell?

this looks so beautiful.

Thank you! I'm already knitting it up into a slouchy hat. I know, I'm not really supposed to be knitting something not on my Olympic challenge list, but how could I resist!?

Thanks Natalie!
Next up, I bought some Fleece Artist merino roving :-)

Thanks! It is actually very very soft. I was surprised, because it is just merino wool.

Nessa, that yarn looks beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing how it knits up. And, can I just tell you how much I love your stylish orange folding bicycle?

Thanks Ellen! I am already knitting a slouchy hat with it. I'll post pics when it is done.

Hey Lady! thanks for the comment on my blog! I'm not quite done my lotus tank yet... still doing some finishing that's taking me a while because I have to pick up non-existent stitches and the yarn I'm using splits really easily! :( I'm hoping to finish it during this next week that I have off though! (horay for a week off!!)

Are you getting excited about school starting soon? It's crazy how early it starts this year

Eeeek! I am in denial about school right now! I have lots of stuff to get together before it begins!
