I was hoping to post this on Handspun Monday, but life got in the way. Had to run BikerChick to the ER on Monday and she got admitted with a case of pneumonia. She’s home now and doing better.

On to the yarn….

Crown Mountain Farms  Superwash Merino in the color moondance. I have another 4 oz to spin. I LOVE THIS STUFF! I have two more colorways I purchased back in September (bday fiber of course!) and I will be buying from them again.

More pics?

I want to try to get the rest spun this next week (busy weekend ahead) and try to spin up the other colors over my spring break.

I highly recommend Crown Mountain Farms!!

Hey there! I am not vanished from the face of the earth. School is just mega frustrating lately.

We went to an event this weekend in the Austin area and I competed in the A&S competition. The above photo is my display from the competition. I didn’t win, but I think I placed well. My friend won the competition with her handspun, handknit (on size 00!!) stockings! I have pics coming of the rest of the competition. I’ll post a link here later.

At the event I took two classes. One was Viking Wire Knitting (also called trichinopoly). I had a lot of fun. Here’s the result:

One word. ADDICTIVE!

I also took a class on sprang, but I don’t have any photos from that.

Oh..I have a FO, kind of.

Ladies 14th century knitted hood with liripipe.  I used knitpicks telemark yarn for it. I still need to add buttons, thats why its “almost” finished.  I want to do another one in linen yarn for summer wear.

Ok…back to the books. See you soon!
