What is new

I got some fabulous new drop spindles, made by my dad. They are beautiful and I tried all four out already. *grins*

I have also been knitting the WestKnits Mystery Shawl. I am going to make the largest size. I have one more pattern repeat, then a simple border.

Trying a new Craft! Spinning!

Above shows a 2ply yarn I made all by myself! It was super fun.
I am using a drop Spindle that I made myself. The Spindle is a little off Balance but I will try sanding and making sure hook is centered.

Above is in progress to show how thin I have managed to get a single ply.
I still have breaks when I pull too thin but I am getting a more consistent, less thick/thin areas.

Myra finished her "Dear Jane" blocks. She decided to make them into a tote like the one I had made myself. She did such a great job piercing all the blocks and adding the sashing. I quieted the finished piece and put it together into a tote for her. The two smaller bags I made from the left over pre-quieted fabric we purchased for the back side of tote. Now she has a beautiful Tote for her crochet projects.
