Corriedale


Corriedale, originally uploaded by MargieBaa.

After 1hr this is as far as I got with the Corriedale which my friend flicked for me. It's been a long time since I did any serious spinning in the grease.

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.
