New Projects...and Old!

So I'm very excited to announce that I have finished spinning my first skein of three ply yarn.  It came out beautifully!  Believe it or not I have only spun two ply yarns before.  I spun it from four ounces of  Merino that I purchased from The Woolbearers booth at the New Jersey Sheep and Wool Festival in September.  It was a perfect joy to spin and to ply!  A side note...I thought the polka dot background was too cute!  I'm just starting a journal to keep track of my steps on this "fiber journey" and that's the inside of the journal!

                                      


                                      



I also, as I type, have a scarf soaking in some lovely smelling wool wash,  awaiting the blocking process.  It is a scarf pattern that I am working on typing up in order to put up on Ravelry.  Woo hoo!  The yarn I knit the scarf from was spun on an Ashford Kiwi about a year ago.  It has been in my stash waiting for a special destiny...like every one of the thousands of yards in the overflowing basket.  But I'm sure I'm not the only yarn hoarder...Right?!


Have a great day! =0)
