My Forays into Fiber and other Geeky Things

The second post of August. I had best show you all what's on the needles, yes? Lets start with the newest project first. Around the beginning of June, I finished a few things. This for instance I had to go hunting for a pattern so it lay dormant The roving, merino of course, was from Carolyn of SeeKay Crafts I just loved spinning it. So much later I found a pattern and cast on Now it looks like this...... Carolyn, thanks for your colorway of "Spring Green" this is what it looks like knitted. Another thing on the needles since June is this pair of simple socks. Which are cleverly stashed in a "Harley Flames" box knitting bag by JessaLu Stitches. Yes, real men, knit, spin and carry project bags. And the red scarf is still coming along, I was hoping to have the first one done by Sept 1st.. Not happening... Btw, get out there and hike the trails these last few weekends of summer, but with this study, be prepared to go in circles

On March 8th this year, there was this fiber thing that my friend Tina put together called "Stir Crazy Stitch and Spin" down in Hudson NY. It was held at the Hudson Opera House What's this got to do with stash enhancement? You say.... Tina had door prizes I won this lovely purple bit of fiber from Jessica Also, seekay was there with this bit of Merino I could not pass up. Yes, I believe that I can spin this now. Wadda ya think T?
