I have joined the challenge. and I have already completed 17 of my 52 projects for this year. The projects include knitting of course, dying, spinning.

I'm planning to do a lot of spinning, shearing season is upon us soon and i have my eye on two or three fleeces. So I'm spinning down my stash.

If anyone wants hand spun from my own hot little hands or want to learn to spin leave a comment and we can set something up.

Projects I've been up too

I have been spinning my brains out. I just purchased a new drop spindle and I love it. My new years pledge is not to buy any more yarn. but i have already amended it to not buying any more acrylic yarn.

I'm currently working on baby sweaters for the new babies in the family. And a wool hat for my little one.

I'm having a weekly meeting at my house on Friday between 10am and 2pm. The ladies and babies get together and knit, spin, talk, and sew. I would love it if we could all create community of creative people.

leave a comment for any questions.
