OMG Has it been that long since I have posted.
Well here is a catch up.
I have been knitting and spinning like a crazy woman. Summer tops and shawls and sweaters so here is my catch up page

My sister came over and taped me up an low and behold a body double. this is a fun way to make a form out of duct tape. All you need is an old tee shirt and a good friend to tape you up. then you cut through the tee shirt and all up the back and re tap it shut. seal the arms and neck and stuff it up . I used old useless fleece to stuff mine and there you have it a form.. oh I used our christmas tree stand to hold it up.

next the knitting progress:
I am spinning yarn from a drop spindle to make a sweater. The progress is slow but rewarding.


here is some complete yarn.










Here are a few summer tops I completed :





here is my Susie Hoodie from Big Girl Knits


Here is some spun merino silk. 8 oz which I navajo plied. and made these fingerless mitts and hat

This is my hubby cooking dinner. I just love this pic so I had to share it:


This is a poncho I made for my friends 4 year old daughter. I gave it to her yesterday and she loved the pom-poms.



Socks that I have pulled out and re knit 3 times. I finally think I have them nailed for the right size and shape.



These alpacas belong to a friend of mine. They are so interesting and beautiful
