Pretty Things

My aunt has just returned from the UK and brought back (among other things) some combed top and roving from Scottish Fibres.

Bitten Again By The Spinning Bug

I was off today and had no intention of anything other than reading an Ann Rule book and slothing around in my pyjamas drinking tea.

My Handspun Silk Mawata

Last night I was looking for something easy to spin.

I'm Spinning!

No, not that kind of spinning. You couldn't possibly pay me enough to get onto a torture device cunningly disguised as an ordinary stationary bicycle for one minute, never mind a whole hour.

More Amarula Please

Some depraved criminal tried to steal the car. He only wrecked the lock but R900 later I know that if I ever find him I would have an uncontrollable urge to go to his house and destroy R900 of his property while screeching (in a demented way), "how do YOU like it when some complete stranger comes and wrecks your stuff?!"

Socks!

I've been on a serious sock-knitting jag lately. What can I say? They're like potato chips but without the calories...

Finished Socks... and a Hat

I've finished the socks, supertwist sock yarn from Nurturing Fibres , pattern is just plain vanilla sock. This colour is called King Protea. These socks are screaming Bronwen's name. Definitely her kind of colour, which means her birthday is sorted (along with a manicure and pedicure voucher).

More Fingerless Gloves

I've made two more pairs of fingerless gloves. Only one picture because I'm kind of sick of them by now. I did about eight pairs while staying in Vryheid. 

Knitting Jag

I've finally finished the pink socks. Here's a picture, although the second sock is exactly the same as the first (or at least it is if you've done your knitting in a reasonably competent way and not like a hamster with ADD) so it's not like you're seeing anything new.

Finished! Well, Sort of...

The first bright pink sock for Colleen is finally finished.
