So much fiber, so little time: I've managed to spin for

I've managed to spin for

I've managed to spin for at least an hour or two every night this week, and I'm currently filling the third bobbin of singles. There are roughly four ounces on the each of the other two bobbins, so I'll start plying when this last one gets up to weight. And how do I know the weight? My geeky mathematician background forces me to weigh each empty bobbin on the electronic balance (accurate to 0.1g) and mark it. It's sad, but useful :)

The box'o'fiber traveled cross-country in two days. Go, USPS! If Janell's not too swamped, I'm hoping to have it back in a month or so.

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
