vacation crafting
June 6th, 2007
I’m on vacation this week. I had hoped to go camping someplace fun, like Mount Hood, or something. Anything. But it’s been raining and cold all week. No matter! I’ve been crafting! And it’s been so fun! A week of crafty goodness. So I started the week casting on for Hedera, my first Project Spectrum project for June/July. I am using some leftover black Rowan 4ply cotton. So far I like them. The pattern is, thankfully, easy to memorize. There have been no knitting tantrums so far with this sock. Thank goodness.
My intention was to knit the pair of these this week. But that’s not going to happen. Why? Because of that nice little packet of roving I got in the mail last week I’ve been sucked into the spinning vortex and can’t seem to stop. Help! I love to spin but by do I get obsessed with it when I start. I can’t think about anything else. Anyway, here is what it’s spinning up into:
So pretty. So very pretty. I Andean Plied it and it’s really lovely yarn. It’s still drying but I will take pictures and post them later.
Hope your week is going well

I love the new black Hedera! I have some 4ply in my stash and am curious about it… I was thinking of knee high socks, but I don’t know how it will hold up (and how it will stay up!) After working with the 4ply, do you think it is a good yarn for socks?
Just curious.
I hope you are enjoying your time off!

LOL I’ve yet to be suckered into the spinning vortex so I can’t help you out there. I keep trying and failing at spinning. Enjoy your vacation of craftiness

OH gosh! I always forget about Hedera. It looks great and am curious to hear what you think about the 4ply cotton for sock yarn.
The spinning is fantastic! I can’t believe how much you have been doing with the spindle. The obsession must be spreading. You are the third blog I have read today that has talked about obsessive spinning.
