I joined Knitspot’s Fall In Color Club and this is the first pattern – Long Shadows.  I had 1100 yards of this gorgeous superwash merino and silk lace, so I decided to do the stole over the scarf.  It’s an easy, but for me… not fast knit.  Yarn is by Happy Hands Dyed Yarn.

Finally – some spinning.  Got about half of this gorgeous dark fleece done.  It’s a Romney – or Romney cross – I can’t remember now, but it’s super soft for a Romney.

This is a gorgeous Bosworth Thuya Burl Midi.  Spins like a dream.

This is from River’s Edge Fiber Arts.  It was much brighter before setting the twist.  The bleeding was bad with this one.  I should’ve gotten the vinegar out earlier.  I’m not sure on the size [...]]]> This lovely yarn was from 4 ounces of roving that was purchased back at the WI Sheep and Wool.

This is from River’s Edge Fiber Arts.  It was much brighter before setting the twist.  The bleeding was bad with this one.  I should’ve gotten the vinegar out earlier.  I’m not sure on the size as I haven’t gotten out the wrapping tool, but it’s about 290 yards and I was thinking it might make a good Lazy Daisy Shawlette.

This is a Romney fleece purchased in the spring from a lovely sheep named Mama.  My plan is to use some of my spinning softly techniques learned at the WI Sheep and Wool Class and whip my own Mama up a sweater for Christmas – or Birthday.  Both events in December.  I have just over 1 pound spun out of 3 pounds that was processed.  Hopefully will ply this weekend.

It’s called Acorn – perfect for Fall spinning and knitting.  Of course all these side projects are not helping with my UFO knit down that my guild is doing.  The frogged Gum drops really put me behind, but there is still time to finish a few things and keep me in the running.

Now onto some other fun things… the camera was played with this weekend.  I learned how to do HDR and here are some of my examples.

Then there was Sweet Pea and [...]]]> Without further ado…using the Random.org random number draw – the winner is….Carol@Swallowcliffs.  Congratulations Carol!  I hope you enjoy the Rhodia Webbie.

Then there was Sweet Pea and my shawl… poor shawl has taken a bit of a back seat to the camera this week.  I’m on row 17 of the edging.  The edging does seem to take longer than garter.
