Knitting on the Rogue River

Tamara has a cute post that inspired me to take a couple of pictures to share with the world. This sock toe is what became of the yarn on the bobbin in the header. It looked too good to hide in a shoe so I stopped knitting. More BFL, Navaho plyed. Here I’ve knitted up [...]

This became… …this. I still have some of the roving to spin, but it’s almost finished. No project in mind, just a color experiment. The yellow roving was gifted to someone so it won’t be making an appearence. Knit, Dye, Reknit The alpaca turned out too pastel. Once I knit it up I’m overdyeing it

The challenge is that everyone wants [...]

Didn’t realize so much time had gone by since my last post. When you spend your whole work week in front of a computer it’s hard to justify spending more time on the computer when you get home. I have been busy though. My spinning group took a field trip to Bonanza, OR to pick [...]
