I have been having fun with my projects lately, mainly because I have been so busy with the garden and all, I want to make the most of my crafty time!

Jenny mentioned that tenny Matine…

Giant Pear is about 10″ tall. All crocheted by me with scrap yarn. Hooray! The knitting girls think I should write up a pattern. I am thinking about it.

I have also spun recently! Woah! hold your horses missey! Yes, I spun.

It is a two ply of grey CVM and white rambouillet. It is dreamy. It is a worsted weight and I yielded 420 yards of the stuff (On one bobbin none-the-less!)

I am happy with it. Now what to knit?

Oh, and this weekend was Black Sheep down in Eugene. I was a really good girl and did not buy too frivolously. I did get 2 oz of tortoise angora fiber to spin. I have never spun Angora so it should be a fun challenge. I also got a ton (well, maybe a pound, but a bunch!) of lace weight. I am knitting a sweater. More on that to come. But really exciting was Alli bought a spinning wheel! I have to admit it is prettier than mine :(

Oh, and I should take a photo of my back yard gardens, huh! That is where most of my hard work has been going lately. Digging, planting, installing, cutting, laying….
