Once I hit my goal of finishing the singles for my SPAKAL sweater, I desperately needed to spin something with COLOR. I knew that I wanted to spin for a sweater for Genevieve, but the rest of the details were a bit hazy.
I dug around in my stash for a bit and found a couple of bumps of fiber that I picked up at the CogKNITive Fiber retreat.

I knew that 4.2 ounces wouldn't be enough, so I dug a little more and found a coordinating bump of fiber:

But it still wasn't juuuuuust right, so I fished a little deeper and came up with a third bump, which I think will tie it all together nicely.

Spinning BFL is wonderful; it's a longish fiber that is both silky and soft, and the SMELL. Mmmmm! It's the browned butter of the fiber world.
I've been making amazing progress - it practically spins itself! I can't wait to get it all plied up and start a (not-so) tiny sweater for my DangerMouse.

Look at those dimples! She's such a good-natured little thing. And it's a good thing that she's into fibers already.
ReplyDeleteShe is so adorable! I need to cast on a sweater for my little one. Don't think I'll get around to spinning any time soon though. Just starting to get my knitting mojo back now.
