It's not a shawl; It's not a scarf; It's a Shawlette!

And, it's lovely.

Made from Merino and Jade (don't ask me how, cause I don't know).

But, it smells a little weird.

Note to self: Don't get wet while wearing it!

2nd Knitting Anniversary!

Two years ago, this week, I decided to try one more time to learn to knit.

This time, it took.

I think it may have saved my life.

This shawlette I started yesterday is knit from the most appropriately named yarn in the world - Therapi. And at $3.00 per skein (on sale from $10.00 per skein) it is the cheapest and most effective therapy in existence.

My Hippie Happy New Life!

I'm such a Hippie! I bought this lovely 1.1 oz drop spindle at the Black Sheep Gathering on Friday, the 24th and got my very first ever 5 minute lesson on spinning. I bought 1 lb. of roving (wool; alpaca and llama) and started spinning as soon as I got home. Today, I finished spinning my first 1 oz. It measures 106 yards! I need to set the twist and spin another ounce so I can make a skein of 2-ply. All I need to do now is buy a guitar and go live off-the-land in my trailer - I'm not a child of the sixties for nothing!
