Toddler Socks!
Well, I promised this today, and I deliver! (although it will be very short and sweet!) The little kiddo's are set up with wooly socks for next winter already! (and whoooo boy was I sick of making these!)
Proud FUFO Moments
Yes, that's right - former UFO's (FUFO's) are becoming FO's this week! I finally finished 4 pairs of toddler sized socks for my nieces (pics on that tomorrow) and I finally finished my pal Gidget's "Freckled Footsies" socks!!
Here's the socks: 
AND on Sunday, the babies went home from the hospital WEARING THE LOLLI-HATS I MADE!!!! What a proud, proud moment!:
And to finish the toddler socks too???? It's been a banner week thus far! Spinning Fleece in the Grease
This weekend I took my first foray into spinning in the grease, straight from the lock. The Shetland wool that I have is exceptionally clean, and only a few areas of it are really, really greasy, so it was a great experience!! Now, this fleece is wonderful, so I may be spoiling myself to trying it with anything less than as fabulous as this, but I'm glad I finally tried it!
I got 1 bobbin completely filled, and another one about 25% filled, so soon I will have beautiful 100% Shetland wool yarn ready for the wash!
Here's a pic of the partial progress:
I also spent alot of quality time with my crockpot this weekend and have some gorgeous died Mohair to show you soon! I'm letting it get a little more dry before I take the picture so the color will be more accurate. Mohair is a breeze to spin, and these colors are great, so I can't wait for it to be ready!!
