UPDATES!

In the interest of keeping this knitting blog actually about knitting ;) I’ve started a second blog for the baby! I’m hoping to teach DH how to blog so he can also add updates on the baby’s blog . . . we’ll see. That way anyone looking for baby updates doesn’t have to bother with knitting and spinning content and vice versa.

I’ll be adding a link to the baby blog in the sidebar as soon as I have a chance, but in the mean time here it is:

Knitting content

I’ve been working on a new Mystery Kit and a Sock Surprise kit that has an interesting twist to it! The Mystery kit is a fun one and I’m doing it with yarns that are already dyed so we will have a bunch of them ready to mail as the orders come in! The sock kit is a Spinner’s Sock Surprise Kit! I’m also working on an idea for a Spinner’s Mystery Kit that uses some Fancier fibers.

After a few more updates to the mailing list and a little more work on the kits I’ll be ready to post them all to the site. Hopefully in just a few more days . . . provided my little buddy will let me work ;)

I’ve also got some new spinning fiber which I’ll be adding. Its White Romney that I picked out at the New Hampshire Sheep and Wool festival and sent out to be processed. I got to try it out the other day, spinning up a couple of ounces and then I knit up a swatch to photograph for the site. This stuff spins up so easily! I can’t wait to get to spin more of it to make something with!

I had also signed up for a Spinning Sample swap on Knitter’s review. I finally got to finish spinning the samples the other day and now I just need to write up my notes so that I can send it in. I used the project to come up with a yarn that I’m going to use to make a fall hat and once have it finished I’ll post a picture here . . . though it will be a few days before I get it cast on.

Okay, time to get to work!
