Some Actual Knitting & Spinning

It's been awhile since there has been some actual spinning and knitting content. I really haven't forgotten how.

First off, are a whole bunch of warshcloths from Mason-Dixon Knitting. Most of them will be gifted at Christmas. They are hanging on a nifty drying stand/rack thing that DH brought home from an auction years ago. It's been hanging around getting rustier, so I finally made the time to clean it up. All those bars on it slide down so that it takes up very little space.

As far as spinning goes; I'm in love. This is a merino/silk blend from Fleece Artist and it spins up effortlessly. The plan right now is to navajo-ply it to keep the colors more separate and then knit it into a scarf and some mittens for myself.

All I can say is that it's a good thing that it's not carried anywhere local and that Nova Scotia is a long ways away!
