I know, I know, you want pictures. Believe me when I say YOU DON'T. Knitting has become an ugly thing, full of slippery sticks, twisty fingers, gnarly words & distinctly bad manners.
The books never tell you not to try to cast on with a crocheted afghan on your lap.
Meanwhile, happier events are taking place at the spinning wheel. AND I just bought a used Louet Jr. drum carder. Yay! My own doffer! I'm wielding it like a pro.
SHETLAND! Lovely, lovely, romantic, soft Shetland. I'm processing it and spinning it myself, small batches at a time. All from Maine farms. The natural color of this gorgeous stuff just won't show up in my pictures!
A milky tan. A cup of cream someone passed a coffee bean over.
