Well my christmas knitting is done. I was planning on taking a picture of the MIL socks finished but I sent them out before I took the picture. Anyway I’ve been busy picking, dyeing, combing and carding. Here’s a couple sneak pics of what I’m going to be talking about on the blog in the next few weeks.
- 5 pitch english combs
Fancy Kitten Drumcarder (pic ganked from their site)
hackle for blending
I also got a really nice ball of sock yarn with stitch markers and ‘lil extra from Sfredette on ravely in the “spin or dye swapping group.”
- swappage
Here’s a few things that are heading into the etsy store.
Christmassy fibery goodness
wool and alpaca blend
I’ve also started a test knit for my friend the Fickle Knitter. If you are interested in checking out her blog you can check it out here: http://www.fickleknitter.com/
Do you use your hackles to blend the fibers headed to your etsy shop? You have a sweet fiber production set up.
Yep I sure do. I pretty much start with the raw farmy fiber and turn it into all the lovely spinny stuff.
