Spinning's Done

Really can't remember when I finished this - quite a few weeks ago because it's been sitting around reminding me to finish it for a long time.

Thinking about a pattern at the moment. The yarn is 11 or 12 wpi which is supposed to be 8 to 10 ply. There's 266m. I still think it might irritate a sensitive neck so I'm still opting for a shawl (small), but it has to be something to knit watching TV as that is the only time I can devote to it.

This is it as a pattern
This is it on Ravelry

Might start knitting tonight.

Spinning randomly

Randomly spinning small quantities of tops then Navaho plying them to maintain the colour separations has created a beret with circles. The pattern by Diane Mulholland is freely available on Ravelry and can be used with all types of yarns because it is based on a swatch. It was knitted in the round starting at the brim and working inwards. Approx 12 wpi.

Great Beanie Picnic

This lovely soft yarn from a EGMTK batt was sold at the Great Beanie Picnic held on 20th February for the exhibition of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival Travelling Show . The lady who bought it has at least one beanie in the show - she wasn't sure if she would use it for Art Beanie or for herself. either way it has gone to a good home. Most people seemed to be poking around looking for a bargain, and as any spinner knows fine blends don't come cheap! Still we had a good afternoon and I was able to demonstrate/teach a few younger people to drop spindle and showed them how to make a CD spindle of their very own.
