Spun Bunny

Here is some bunny fur I recently spun into yarn:


It took a while to get the amount of twist to my satisfaction. I wanted it tight but fuzzy. I think it could be tighter, but that is okay. It will make some nice inner mittens (yes I wear mittens 2 sets at a time). I'm thinking a simple mitten with a lacy drapey cuff. Maybe crochet. Eh, maybe not. This picture was taken after I washed and then dried yarn in microwave.

In other knitting news, my Kim Hargreaves sweater, Blithe, the back is done and I am working on the front. I am trying valiantly to finish it up so I can start that Eunny Jang sweater from the new IK using the Felted Tweed in Watery (a pretty blue). Can't wait to start!

Also am working on a billion socks. In fact I have so many going, that I lost 2. I am quited saddened by this as one was a knee sock and I was just at the toe, ready to close it off. Damn. Generally when I lose something I just wait around for it to reappear, generally in a week or so, no sweat. A few weeks have gone by though and I'm starting to think it is officially lost or I left it somewhere out in the world, and that I didn't just absent-mindedly put it down somewhere safe in my house.

Hello

February 15 was my last post? Wow. Just saying Hi. I started knitting a sweater from Kim Hargreaves last group of designs. I think it's called Blithe. Yes, I know it's called Blithe.

I went to MDSW way back in May...was it May? Anyway, I bought some bunny fur from an unfortunately recently (recently, back then) deceased bunny (while I was buying it, the woman said, "Ahhh, it's the last of Thumper." (I forget actual name of bunny.) So, I've been spinning that up. It's fuzzy. Will make make a nice set of interior mittens. (I always double up the mittens, one pair just isn't enough.)

Did some sock knitting. Have some socks I started last September almost done. Have about 6 rounds to go, but have been sitting in a holding pattern while I start Other Better Things.

It'll only take me 5 minutes to finish up that toe on the September socks. Whenever I get around to it. haha. A round to it. Sort of a lame joke there. Bye bye!
