It seems lately that I am either spinning or knitting. I thought I was done with making hats for gifts. But now I have to knit my FIL a hat and then the owners of the comic book shop where my DH gets his comics from need something. They are really good to my DH and my girls, always have some sort of freebie for my girls if they are with my DH at the shop. And they are 2 really great brothers, father and uncles to their children and nieces and nephews. Though one is still single ladies!!! And he is such a sweetheart and REALLY looking for someone to share his life with. HE IS A KEEPER. If you are single and looking for someone to settle down with and live in the Capital District of NY State, please let me know, you need to meet this man. ;)
But right now I am taking a bit of a break and working on The Leaf T-Shirt by Melissa LaBarre for myself. I am using a merino/silk yarn that I kettled dyed a lavender color (thank you Amy J for the color suggestion).
It'll be nice to have a new piece of clothing for myself as it seems my wardrobe is pretty outdated and tattered. Umm, completely my fault. Cause you see, this is how the conversation in my head goes when I look at new clothes for myself.
"Oh that's a pretty shirt. Those are some nice jeans. Oh I love that coat."
"Oh wait. I just bought 8 oz of fiber for spinning and new sock yarn. And there is that Selah Sock Yarn from Woolgirl. Oh well, I'll get some new jeans next week."
Next week comes, repeat conversation in my head.
LOL! I need to go on a fiber diet so I can buy myself much needed clothing. Yes, 2 weeks ago I finally threw out those jeans that had huge holes in the knees even though I would still wear them! ;)
Oh wait, Dh said I could buy the Otium Spinning Wheel from Heavenly Handspinning . I really spin to knit so this would be perfect for me. And then I plan on buying some plans and slowly work on making myself a fancier spinning wheel. But will still keep this one as my oldest daughter (who is currently 5 years old) tells me her life ambition is to always stay with me and not get married and to knit for a living and own a yarn shop with me. ;) I love that child!
