mitten!

gosh its been awhile...here's what i was doing while laughing at the silly old men in my family on thanksgiving. a mitten i made from knitpicks yarn (dark green) and some kool-aid dyed wool in pretty kool-aid colors. check out the self-diagonal-striping effect on the cuff :)i promise after this i'll stop showing pictures of this spinning uptil i finish whatever i'm making with it, but...

purple spinning

So, I'm sitting in the library not working on my lab report and I thought it would be a good time for a post. I finished my red sweater, but I don't have a picture yet. It fits really well and turned out pretty much how I wanted. The sleeves are longer than they need to be, but they keep my hands warm.
I've also been spinning this gorgeous merino/silk blend. There's 8 oz of fiber total, and so far I've spun about 80 yds laceweight and 117 yds heavy worsted. I couldn't decide how heavy I wanted to spin it, and I might want to ply the two together for an interesting texture. Here are some closeups of the heavier one:
