Text of the page (random words):
am not sure what pattern i was using the yarn i used in the first square is knit picks crayon i was able to look back on ravelry to my projects and found the socks i had made with this yarn i have enough left over that i can get at least one maybe two more squares from this yarn i likely won t be posting pictures of every single square i knit for this but when i get several or start to sew them together into the blanket i ll post pics that way then you and i can see just how this blanket grows this should be a project that i can take with me and knit on the go when waiting at doctor s offices and what not the only thing i need now is a pretty project bag to keep it in posted by shelley l mackenzie at 6 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blankets mitred squares sock yarn sock yarn blanket wips friday september 18 2015 larch the beginning of the larch scarflet almost two weeks ago i began knitting a scarflet called larch the link to my project page with this pattern can be found here the pattern starts off with just knitting and a few yarn overs and then moves onto the lacy part i don t have much left to do of this section and soon i ll start the lace the yarn i m using is amitola by louisa harding it s the first time i ve knit with this yarn and so far i like it i am surprised with the colour change though i bought two balls of this because it was pink and purple and i thought that was what the whole thing would be however there is also a reddish shade brown and orange rust they aren t normally colours i would gravitate toward but are nice to knit with for autumn fall most recent photo of larch it s actually bigger now as i mentioned below the picture to the right the scarflet is bigger now than in the photo i need to take another picture of it soon i am back to knitting the pink and purple section of the yarn again i m curious to see what the final product looks like with all the colours knit together i don t think i would think to put all of these colours together but it must be fine since this yarn was dyed with them so far i am enjoying the larch pattern it s a mindless knit at this point that i can work on in front of the tv i ve glanced at the lace chart a bit and right now i don t know if it s something i d be able to do in front of the tv we ll see though other than larch i don t have any other knitting on the go yet i ve been thinking about starting some socks whether they are toddler kid sized or something for me i don t know just yet as i ve come across some of my sock yarn and i ve been seeing lots of gorgeous socks and sock yarns on instagram and it s got me in the sock knitting mood i ll keep you updated on larch and whether or not i start some socks until then happy knitting posted by shelley l mackenzie at 4 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels scarves wips yarn thursday september 17 2015 two new spindles new drop spindle not long ago i ordered a drop spindle i had a student one i think it s ashford i don t have it beside me at the moment though that i got when i first learned to spin i wanted another spindle so that i could spin two rovings to ply together drop spindle with sample fibre i came across the green forest fibers etsy site and they had this gorgeous spindle for sale i don t see any more listed on their site but maybe if you wanted one and contacted them they could make it for you i loved the way it looked smooth polished pretty green stone whorl simply gorgeous i placed my order and then waited and waited i contacted the company but didn t receive any reply i waited a few more days and contacted them again still nothing i began to wonder if i wasn t going to receive my order then i heard from them they had been through an unfortunate circumstance beyond their control my order was shipped the next day and i received it about a week later the owner felt bad about the situation and included four sample rovings one brown two cream one purple for me in the second picture above i am spinning the brown fibre i m not sure what it is but the white hairs may be angora rabbit i love this spindle i am spinning the finest yarn i ve spun to date which is something i had wanted to do when using the student spindle i have my spinning was getting better but it wasn t this fine spindle from ks inspirations during the time i was waiting to hear back from green forest fibers and thinking i might no get my order i placed another order for a different drop spindle from ks inspirations another etsy shop this spindle is also awesome this spindle also allows me to spin a fine yarn but might not be quite as fine as the one above that might also be because of the type of fibre i m using as well but i don t know for sure anyway this spindle has a purple jasper whorl and an oak shaft it spins well though i find when the spin is slowing down it begins to wobble the other one does this a little as well i don t know if that is normal or if i m not doing something right however the wobble doesn t affect the spinning both of these etsy shops shipped their product in a timely manner i would definitely order from these shops again posted by shelley l mackenzie at 8 05 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels drop spindle etsy shops spinning tuesday august 25 2015 you spin me right round baby hand spun yarn on a pvc pipe niddy noddy waiting to be plied recently i ordered a niddy noddy from a shop on etsy called la tea da designs it s made from pvc pipe and is fully submersible in water you can see some of my latest hand spun yarn prior to soaking it i found out after i tied the skein that i did that wrong you re supposed to do a figure 8 tie on it but i only found that out after i d already tied my skein at least i know for next time i have since removed the yarn and i m looking for a pattern to knit up my first real skein of hand spun yarn i only have about 90 yards so i can t make anything too big i was thinking of maybe a small cowl or a small scarf but i don t know yet the yarn to the right is just a single of merino it s so soft i spun this before the yarn above and i am going to ply it with more yarn that i spin later i don t have any more of the yellow but i was thinking of plying it with a bright green or cream colour my spinning is getting much better as i practice i think that s the key i still get a few thicker pieces here and there but they aren t nearly as thick as they used to be the yarn i m spinning currently not shown has an even more consistent spin to it i ll post a picture when i get it plied which will probably be in a few days after i let it rest i also ordered some fibre from another shop on etsy called fashion touch supplies it came yesterday and i haven t had a chance to upload the photo it is on my instagram though the colour isn t something i d normally choose but i decided to branch out and expand my colour horizons i m looking forward to spinning that and can t wait to see how it turns out well that s my latest update i hope you have a great day and happy knitting spinning posted by shelley l mackenzie at 10 28 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels drop spindle hand spun niddy noddy spinning yarn thursday august 20 2015 the post with actual knitting content i ve been meaning to post a photo of the neck warmer i had been working on for awhile now i finally finished it a week or so ago still not blocked though and i think it turned out great i don t have a photo with it around my neck because it s been so stinkin hot around here lately to the right is a close up of the pattern there are mistakes in it so don t look too closely which i got free when i bought the yarn earlier in the summer i ll try to get a link to the pattern as i think it was something they found online the yarn is clara from manos del uruguay and is 100 merino super soft and smooshy i loved working with this yarn i ve also been working on my old shale scarf which i started back around the beginning of the year i m using debbie bliss angel prints in the kahlo colourway 15807 this pattern is super easy to knit another free one with the purchase of the yarn and i am enjoying the way it looks with this yarn the only thing about this yarn is that it is so fine that i can really only knit with it during the day the light at my mom s isn t the best for this type of knitting and that s usually only when i m not in the mood for knitting or surfing the web i don t have a lot left on the old shale scarf and i probably should have gotten another ball of this colour to make it long however i suppose i could end up sewing the ends together and turning it into a cowl thought i don t now how well that would turn out i do have another ball of this yarn in a different colourway but i haven t decided if i ll make another scarf in this pattern or find a different pattern close up of the pattern and yarn i ve also been continuing with my spinning lately and will have a post with that content soon i m also in search of the next knitting pattern to do while i m at my mom s i don t know if i have any dpns here so i can make socks i did bring sock yarn thinking i might have the dpns here but haven t looked yet since i joined instagram my name there is shelley snyder i ve been seeing so many pictures and posts about socks that i m getting in the sock knitting mood again so until the next post

del uruguay neck warmer scarves tuesday july 14 2015 more spinning latest spinning completed july 11 2015 i was up visiting my mom in the hospital again this past weekend and of course i brought some spinning and knitting with me to the right is a photo of the completed spinning light blue navy and purple it s the same type of fibre as the pink purple in a previous post there was no mention of how much was in the wool top nor was there mention of the type of fibre i managed to get this spun better than the pink purple spinning but there are still a few fat spots overall i am pleased with the results i don t think i will ply this since i m not sure how much i have though i m thinking i may use it for a scarf if there is enough i alter it with the pink purple spinning and then i may have enough for something up next will be the pink roving i mentioned in the last post i should also get a photo taken of what i m knitting a neck warmer to post here as well happy knitting spinning posted by shelley l mackenzie at 8 13 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels drop spindle fos spinning yarn wednesday july 08 2015 and the spinning continues i finished plying part of the yarn i had been spinning it s just a small ball i didn t have my ball winder with me and that s why it s not a centre pull ball i still have some left to do but i need to wind it into two centre pull balls so i can ply it together close up of some of the plied yarn once i plied i soaked it and wound it around my arm and hand tied it in a couple of places and tied a mug to one end to help it set while it s not the best spinning i m still pretty proud of my accomplishment since i didn t have my ball winder with me last week when i went to stay with mom i couldn t finish plying the rest of the yarn i had taken some wool top with me to spin just in case i had time for it which i did i don t know what kind of wool it is nor do i know how much many ounces there were or even a colourway the tag around the wool top didn t say much of anything i don t mind though i was able to get more consistency this time though there are still a few fat areas that didn t get spun as small as the rest all in all i like the job i did with this much better close up of the most recent spinning i think i m starting to get the hang of spinning i don t know how much yarn i ended up with but it doesn t seem like a whole lot i don t think i m going to ply this as i would end up with less than what is showing and maybe not have enough to knit anything with i don t know if i have enough to knit anything with this either but i ll see what happens in the future when i knit it up i ve got some of the same wool top in blues that i will spin next hopefully i will get this blue spun up quickly i found some pink roving that i won a few years back through a contest on a knitting spinning blog i don t know which one now but i m sure i have it listed in a post from whenever it was and i will spin that after the blues whenever that is completed i will have to get more roving as i won t have any more off to wind the pink purple yarn into a centre pull ball happy knitting

visiting my mom over the weekend i managed to finish up the spinning i had been working on well at least the first spin i did get more consistent as i went which i know will come with practice it s still not as nice as i would like it to be but overall i think it s ok i can t wait to see what it s like after i ply it i was working on the spinning a lot while i was visiting my mom in the hospital i had some of the nurses and a couple of my mom s room mates ask what i was doing and even had some comments on how much it looked like cotton candy i agreed it s probably a good thing it isn t cotton candy though i d probably have it all eaten up before it got anywhere close to spinning what you see behind the spindle is northern lights wool top dyed it doesn t have a colour listed on it but i thought it looked pretty that s what i plan on trying to spin next to the right and below is the newest knitting project i ve begun also while visiting my mom in the hospital i only have about three repeats of the pattern completed so far the pattern is the twisted rib neckwarmer super easy btw which i got free when i purchased the yarn clara by manos del uruguay in the 5 sandia colourway this yarn is a single ply a merino superwash and is so soft i am enjoying working with it so far i can t wait to see this pattern completely finished as i think it will be lovely in this colourway so that s what i ve been working on lately what projects have you been working on have you used the clara yarn by manos del uruguay before and if so what did you think of it would love to see links to pictures of your completed projects using this yarn or this pattern happy knitting posted by shelley l mackenzie at 2 03 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
