No More Yarn but more Fiber Related Fun

Ok I promised myself that I would not buy yarn this month. I have enough yarn but I did buy dye, a spindle and on the 31st of October some yarn to dye and some Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks. I think Ravelry is a bad influence because now I want to try spinning and dying yarn.

I did get some good things off Craigslist yesterday. I have more knitting needles. A cute plastic holder and 2 knitting books. The big purchase was a ball winder for $5.00. Well I just love the way my yarn looks in little cakes. I made 5 yesterday and it was so quick. I want to do more.

I have been knitting on my hoodie. The back is done and I am working on the right front. I am still enjoying the project. The Y2K quilt has another block sewed up. I just don't find myself taking the time to sew and I need to do that. I need the Thanksgiving Wall Hanging to replace the Halloween Wall Hanging I made.

My son visited his girlfriend in San Francisco. They went to Alcatraz. The GF crochets and is learning to knit. When my son showed me the pictures from Alcatraz I loved this one.
