I’ve been working for months now washing, combing, spinning and now knitting the Tunis fleece I bought last September at a Fiber festival. The first huge skein I actually over spun when plying. It didn’t seem like I had enough yarn to knit the Lindisfarne Mantle, which is a poncho. Instead I’m making this into a wide cabled scarf/shawl. I think it’ll be more useful than my jacket over this upcoming winter!
We start again. Is there any better feeling than starting a project from scratch? I started yesterday on the Lindistfarne Poncho using my hand spun, hand combed, Tunis. The cabled cream colored four ply stranded yarn already looks fantastic cabled. I just hope I have enough yarn and/or fiber. Second, I’m cross stitching Pikachu and it’s evolved form for my youngest. It’s a bit intimidating starting such a large cross stitch project but it is stamped- making it easier.
