New Project lined up

This is silk top from the Gossamer Web, with a "puse size Tibetan style spindle from Neal Brand. My newest spinning venture, for breaks at the new office. A very long-term project, to be sure.

English muffins--yum!

my new office!

passing time

inside the bathroom at 8:30 pm the other night--it was already -20 at this point.

Jamieson & Smith shetland roving in five natural colors, rolled into fauxlags,  and two batts from Enchanted Knoll Farm in Maine, the color is Wood Elves. Made the Fauxlags, so far one whole batt is on the first spindle.

woven scarves

 

The singles are from the Gossamer Web fauxlags.

The yarn is a fellow Raveler's first handspun skeins. The purple multicolor was her first skein ever, and the gray coopworth was her second completed spinning project.  She only knits lace and wasn't happy with these yarns, which is understandable. They aren't suited for lace, but they wove up very nicely. The coopworth is definitely not for next to the skin wear, but it would make a nice sweater. The purple (bfl, I think) is quite soft, and perfectly suitable to be worn as a scarf.
