Emma's Yarn

Emma's Yarn
100% Punta wool, hand-dyed and hand-spun by yours truly. I am really digging the drop spindle these days.


Emma's yarn
Thick and thin single, 236 yards. This yarn is for Emma, who saw me spinning it at our knitting group and insisted in her very charming way that I let her buy it.

What I did last week

Drop Spindle Yarn
I managed to get 415 yards on approx. 4 oz of handpainted roving from here.


Mittens, extra warm
Mittens from my own thick/thin handspun.  Extremely warm and lots of fun to knit.


Noro hat
Earflap hat, made from Noro Yoroi.  I don't know the colorway, because I lost the label.  It doesn't matter anyway, because they don' t make Yoroi anymore.  I love this hat!  Super warm and the ear flaps are different colors, which I totally dig.  I modified the pattern from the Kitty Hat in Stitch N Bitch.  Easy peasy and a very quick knit.

Doods...I need a camera that isn't 5 years old.  I dream of digital SLRs.
