A New Day

The sun is shining (it's still cold) but it is not a rainy, dreary day here. I have all of the blinds open and the sun is shining in! I love the sunshine. Even though I am still sportin' a cold but my disposition is considerably nicer.

I finished my youngest daughters scarf this morning. (I was pretty much done last night by a few inches) And it looks pretty nice. I handspun the purple wool and knitted it together with a novelty yarn. I will post a pic later. I am getting ready to card the "strawberry red" dyed wool, so I can spin that up. I am really pleased with the colors and how they are working up so far.

I have a bunch of little balls of handspun wool in different colors that I am thinking about making myself a felted bag. You have to first knit the bag like 3 times bigger than is imaginable. I mean, when it's done it would look like a super large shopping bag. LOL But then you wash it in hot water in the washer machine then dry it in the dryer on high with some tennis balls. Voila, you have a nice sized handbag! So, I am saving up all of scrap yarn for that purpose. The only thing I am lacking besides tons of wool yarn (which I am amassing slowly) is extra large circular knitting needles. I think I am going to have to break down and order them for myself. I have time though, I am not quite ready to start that project.

Well, the children need my help with their studies and I need to take a nice, long, hot bath and rotate laundry. Today is going to be a bit busy. So, ta-ta for now and God Bless.
