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.
