Boring Busy

| 6 Comments

I finally got a minute to simply wind the yarn I finished spinning some time back. That is rather pathetic isn't it? The only attention the wheel has been getting of late is longing looks as it sits idly in the corner. Pretty colors though, this is hand-dyed festival mystery wool. And because I apparently have a compulsion to have a plan for every skein in the house- I thought I'd try it out with "Molly's Headband" from Interweave Knits. Whenever I get a few spare knitting moments that is, heh.

too lazy to set it

I'm very excited about my most recent fiber acquisition however. Look what my sweet MIL brought me all the way from India- fresh cotton!

Mr. PieKnit's family grows it in India. Now I really need to get back on my by the wayside charkha project. (Damn where does the time go, seriously?) Ooh and try out my fast flyer for the Lendrum.

Fluffy cotton clouds

Where's squish-o-vision when you need it?

The design for Interweave Knits was sent off- a little peak shall we?

Really crappy rushed pic before going out the door

I can't wait to see it in the magazine. I really loved this project. It was physically difficult sending it out. It's off to a better place though *sniff*. But no time to mope- I get to start another design for Interweave Knits that was accepted for the Spring issue!

Love the sneak peek, Jen and can't wait to see it in its full glory!

Lucky you to have relatives with fiber related businesses :)

Just got my yarn for one of my projects for the spring issue. Off to swatch now!

OMG - the cotton looks SO soft and squishy! I don't think I've ever seen photos or results of handspun cotton - looking forward to it!

Wow the yarn you spun is beautiful! I love the colors! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next issue! I want to see what you created!

I want to dive in that bag! It looks like a big cotton ball!

Congrats on your published patterns! I subscribe to IK, so I'll be sure to see them! That is great!!!!!

The purple handspun is gorgeous, and am also curious on what cotton handspun will look like. Congrats on your Interweave patterns--can't wait to see them!

Look at all that lovely cotton! Please share your spinning efforts! I'm too chicken to try cotton.
