Running out of hand spun

Okay what a weekend I finished up my yarn and began knitting my shawl. I am almost out just started the cream yarn tonight. Im spining up some blk alpaca singles and gonna satart spining the rest of the lght and drk grey to finish shawl. I have a week off comming up im gonna finish my shawl and start a irish hiking hat I did one last year and it was fun, this time im gonna spin my yarn up. Take back what I said I love my wheel its just very slow I need to invest in a ball winder it will make plying easier. I will have pics some time this week.

Much love and Gods peace!!!

Yarn done!

Ok I finished the light grey yarn but my hubby is asleep and I cant thwack it, so I will set it tomorrow. The light grey is close to 57yards. From what I understand it may shrink some after drying. Right now I have about 220 yards not enough for the full shawl so I will either hope that I can spin as I go or be happy with a shawlete.

I would really love to have a spinning wheel I would enjoy it I know. To spin on my wheel is like a work out really I begin to sweat. I think I want to spin my own yarn from now on. I have a bunch of lions brand fisherman's wool to use up and a ton of red hearts also. But i like the idea of spinning my own.

Navajo plyed cream yarn for shawl. ok so 36inces= 1yard so I think its about
97 wraps around my chair at 37ins around so that 3492 yards of yarn is that right?
Edit 2/8/12 just a little over 97 yards, Ok woke up had a thought wow. I promise im not stupid it was a long day, i should have been sleeping!

So today I finished spinning and plying the cream yarn for my shawl, it seems that the size is bigger than I wanted, it is worsted weight I think. Any who so I will start the deep chocolate tomorrow I will spin day and night and hope to get do in less than 2 days. Yep my wheel is slow going I know that now and I will be in the market for a wheel soon. I'm gonna use this one my sweet husband made for me till I cant take it anymore. I love him so I feel like I will hurt his feeling if I get a wheel but I know that is not true. He loves when I'm happy.

I tried to get as consistent a yarn as I could but this is only the 5th or 6th time I have produced yarn and this is by far the best I have made.I hope that I can reproduce this yarn in the other colors so my shawl looks nice but I will love it anyways. Okay time line chocolate brown spun and plyed by Thursday night, grey spun and plyed by Saturday night. Set and dry Sunday, Monday start knitting Monday or Tuesday night. Hey miracles happen every day. I have more pictures but for some reason they wont download so I will post later. Oh yeah Ravelry im on Ravelry under Chademp I love love love this site so cool. I have my project up and will update there also ok thats enough, yawn eyes, getting heavy, so tired. Goodnight.
Much love and Gods peace peeps!

New roving

Ok let me appologize last time I was here I went on a tirade. Sorry It just still hurts sometimes more than others. Just want love for everyone and much respect. I did not need to throw out curse words and things .

Today I went to a litle store kinda big though called Tempe Yarn and Fiber, Nice people there and a great inventory did not get to stay long but will be going back soon. I have undertaken a spin to finish project. Lalas simple shawl pattern with my own hand spun yarn. I spun all day almost and I realize my wheel is a little slow going. I should have enough singles to ply by staurday then, they have to dry, so by monday I should be able to start knitting.

I will be posting pictures of my yarn and progress as it goes, I was so inspired by Yarn Harlots Jacob Damask shawl it is so pretty she spun up her yarn and knit it up. I am by no means as talented as she, so the simple shawl will be good I took her color scheme. I love the natural colors of fleece and so most of my knits are in natural colors anyways maybe some day I will love colors, but to me natural is beautiful.

Love and Gods peace peeps!!!!

Ok my day was great, the Giants won the super bowl. I am not a giants fan nor did I watch them all year, but so greatful that they won since so many were ruting for the patriots to win. I finished my scarf with the funky colors and im kniting my other scarf with my hand spun yarn. My great and loving husband built me a pengiun style wheel in his own design. People say that spinning with this style wheel is slow going maybe, and that you cant get a consitent yarn from it. Well I dont know if that is true, I am starting a a shawl pattern using a brand yarn and I need to spin somthing simmilar weight to it. I think if I draft the fleece first and take my time I can get it done. I am going to take my time and finish this shawl with pride and care so wish me luck.

Yesterday was the 6th aniversry of my brothers death it happened suddenly and violently. My brother was the victom of anger and road rage, final investigation says that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, he was in a car of four passengers and the other car opened fire he was the only one hit. Bullsh*t lets try to play nice always and all the time. Bad mood's are contagious they pass along all day, all week, all year, all life. Stop choose your own mood, and smile when in the face of opposition and say I choose my day. People get hurt and life is to short to be F*cked up all the time.

Ok sorry just its hard to think that life is not important to others and that people can just do somthing and not think twice about it. Love your nieghbor and get a hobby it helps, it calms the mind amd give you something else to think about. I find spinning yarn and knittinng it up to be so soothing. Couple cans of spray paint and a mask takes the load off and a big glass of red wine, man helps allot.
Much love an Gods peace peeps!!!!
