I have been busy.....

Yes indeedy, I have.

I started some Bouclé yarn at the show and have since finished two skeins of it.

Looks impressive doesn't it?  It's not actually all that hard to do and it's fun once in a while.  The fibre is English Leicester and doing this makes it nice and soft and shiny.

this is a before....

I do have a plan for it once I have finished spinning it up. 

I have had the odd side track as well.

This Polwarth from New Zealand..

It is very very soft and lovely!!! Much to the locals disgust, I have said often that I prefer NZ Polwarth over AU Merino anyday.

And in the last couple of days, this 3 ply sock yarn out of some generic wool I traded for from a lovely lady in the US.

It is apparently mostly Rambouilett but I think there is a little something stronger as well as it spun up fine wonderfully and I think it will make sturdy socks.

On the knitting side, I have once again given my RSI a work out and finished my Big Gal Blue jumper...The fibre is chunky, handdyed BFL/silk.

Pattern is my own,  I am really pleased with how it has turned out.

It is knitted from the top down without seams.  It has cables front and back, down the top of the sleeves also underneath and down the sides.  There is front and back shaping as well for a fantastic fit.

I also have a new shipment of fibre but that will be for another post......
