Valentine Spinning: Strawberry Chocolate
Participated in a little spinning challenge over at Ravelry.
2 oz of chocolate strawberries inspired art yarn.
Will be knitted up into a shawl together with the two other yarns in the picture.
The natural white one is a mystery fibre I got along with the Viking replica spindle, the brown is Manx Loaghtan and the spindle comes from SpinCityUk over at Etsy.
Hap-style shawl, I think.
Or?

Chasing Clouds at work
Lasse
Ballee is creating a pattern collection for the wee ones, little hats knitted or crocheted out of yarn dyed by Dutch indie dyers.
I'm delighted to share Lasse with you.
The blue and the gray are made out of yarn I dyed and I love how they worked up.
Wouldn't the hats be a lovely project for the Ravellenic games that started yesterday?
I have cast on
Snow Cloud
I had started several projects with this yarn and neve quite liked the outcome.
Seed stitch seems to do the trick and I love the way it looks. Excuse the crappy picture, it's raining cats and dogs outside and my little office has bad lighting. I assure you, the finished product is going to look a lot better :-)
Back to the needles!

Still hibernating
Heavens, will it never get spring?
I would love to indulge in flowers and ice cream.
Yes, ice cream.
Chocolate and strawberries, two of my four favourite flavors:

Knitting on the road
It has become winter here.
Yesterday, we had our first snow and our first snow storm of the year.
Today, temperatures are well below freezing and the sun is shining brightly.
The perfect weather for a good soup, a good book, a hot beverage, some spinning and knitting.
My goal for this weekend is to finish my version of this pattern
A wonderful free pattern, perfect to use up odds and ends, or in my case a single ball of mohair and that hand dyed uncarded fleece I was spinning some time ago.
Some yarn for the shop might be dyed.
Some batt might be spun into a nice single for a Danish tie shawl.
Two weeks ago I went on a little knitting day out. Actually, it was a gigantic birthday party. We all celebrated out birthdays, at once, with lots of food, fun and yarn:
It was a great day, exactly what the doctor ordered.
Full of inspiration, good talks, laughter and even some cat cuddling. What more could you want?

Knitting: Autumn
I love autumn.
The smell of damp leaves.
The taste of fog on my lips.
The rustling of the leaves.
Jumping in leafpiles, in puddles.
The time of year where I can wear my shawls and hats and look forward to combine what I have and make new items.
I wish I could wear autumn colours, but alas, I'm a soft summer, hazy, foggy, cold.
Not warm, rich and vibrant.
I'm currently working on a shawl, harvest-inspired and free:
If you want to join in, you can find the pattern here
And come visit the group, really nice people there!
Junction is finished:
and very funky:
More fall inspired knitting:
and some spinning
Yes, I know, I said I'm a soft summer and fall colours are not really for me - but I simply can't resist them!
