Well i got my order from webs and cast on my sons hoodie....
it had to be washable and easy for him to take care of so i opted for a acrylic wool blend...and i must say i made a good choice....this yarn is soft and very squishy
and the price was right that being said...it was listed under bulky but is more like a heavy worsted so i made him a size larger,used the size needles for the pattern,(my guage is tighter) but so far i really like the way it is turning out,i ordered buttons off etsy and cant wait to get my first sweater thats not for a baby ,done
so much for the 1 Christmas ornament a week ....this is the second one and its only half there
spinning ....i am still working on my valentine sock yarn
and yes i have a babe....i haven't painted it yet but am planing on it as soon as i finish spinning the sock fiber
I have discovered the joys of spinning Shetland,,,,,,and am going to spin this Easter
colored for a small shawl i think....or maybe do a 3 ply and do socks ? Shetland socks? I just love this spindolyn....
the light is going so i will have to take pics of the rest of my webs order and i did get an order from handsome fiber that is where i get my needles from...and i think i have a few other things coming this week,....i will look up everything I'm working on and have purchased and post the links next post
Well back to the sweater..........see ya soon

its 2014!!!!
Its 2014 and i am already thinking about next Christmas.....I want to get all the crafting done before December...
As far as 2014 knitting goes....well....i want to do at least 10 pairs of socks....and 2 sweaters ...and crochet at least 2 more afghans....we'll see how this goes
so i found myself back in November wanting to try spinning on my spindles....and to try different ones than what i already spun on
so i got a Turkish and a Russian and i love them both so i have added to my supported spindle collection...
i love stone top whorls....and this is my favorite russian
i also have 2 spindolyns.....which i love and leaned to spin on in the first place....i got a new one for christmas....and may i just say her shop is worth stalking
and this was my first................
this is her etsy shop where she posts special spindolyns......one of a kind.....
https://www.etsy.com/shop/cadymay
there is another website where u can purchase one if u google spindolyn it will pop up
i keep mine next to my chair in the living room....its like having a mini spinning wheel....love them ...planing on getting a couple more
am still making some ornaments...i got this book for christmas...it is wonderful...and i plan on doing at least one a week
along with these
i havent started any new socks yet....but i will as soon as i get some off the needles....
and just so u can have a peek at the beautiful but very cold park
may u all have a blessed new year..........
