Spinning and knitting, and I finished the scarf I had been working on for my hubby:
For those of you who are into this sort of thing:
Scarf knitted by me in a non-stretchy rib pattern (cast on multiple of 3, slip the first stitch of each row, k2p1 until the last two stitches, which will be knit, turn, repeat.) Border are 6 rows of garter stitch.
Thread was 2 strands of 2 ply handspun wool (the doubled thread about 10 wpi), a blend of brown, black and a touch of white.
knit on size 3 US needles. gauge on the stockinette is somewhere around 6 stitches per inch.
That's a pic of my old Majacraft Saxonie spinning wheel. They don't make that model any more. I've been thinking about getting a Kromski Sonata...that's another sweet spinning wheel....time will tell.

I love the autumn colors of the scarf as well! Time to break that stuff out!
Now turning a sock heel or toe is definitely more complex...
I have a whole lot of this wool, probably a couple of pounds worth (scarf took maybe 5 ounces), maybe a bit more. I will be spinning and making more things out of it....while plotting modern fairy stories....kind of fitting, I think.
When I saw these drawing on da I thought of you.
