Ok, so I invested in a new drop spindle that will make your jaws drop and rock your socks. The workmanship is truly stunning and man does this thing spin like a dream!
Cast on, knit, and blocked a whole darn pair of socks this month. Not that impressive to some, but I'll take mediocre productivity in the dark days of Februrary.
I finished a skein of my first handspun yarn *wait for applause*. It is glorious in it's uneven, over/under-spun unity. I look forward to future improvement.
In other news, I cast on a new shawl. I don't actually wear shawls and can't even stand to have my hair down around my neck, but I sure love knitting them. Suggestions for solutions to this conundrum? Anyone? This shawl is another mystery knit-a-long and so far, very very fun to knit. The pattern is called Germinate and is written/release by Kirsten Kapur.
I have been eyeballing an especially challenging skein of yarn. The yarn is Mano Del Uruguary in Locura Fluo. The colourway is bold, bright, and made up of all the colours of the rainbow. How to knit this up in a fun way without losing the party vibe? I found the perfect solution in Michele Zatarian's Slippery Slope socks.
