Marvel comics character gloves

These are my hand knit Captain America texting/fingerless gloves

The yarn was hand spun by weirdandtwisted on Etsy

I think of a theme, presently we are working on Marvel comic characters

This Captain America yarn has little stars spun in and is gorgeous when knitted

They sold from my etsy shop Woolnlove

Travels with Woolnlove

Woolnlove is going on a road trip with her husband and daughter

Will try and blog on the way!

Fingerless mitts

I have been busy knitting fingerless mitts, boot cuffs

In various themes and colours, what do you think?

New Year, new determination to write!

So this is the beginning of 2015 and I am determined to try and write my blog every day, this is always my New Years resolution, and usually I fail!
I watched the film "Julie and Julia" recently, you know the one where she cooks her way through Julia Child's cook book and blogs, well I was re-inspired by that to really concentrate on blogging

Prior to Christmas I was persuaded to sell some of my yarn and fibre through the Comox Christmas fayre, this turned out to be a great idea and a sufficient amount of goods were sold to make it worthwhile.

I also took some yarn to the LYS in the next town and the owner agreed to take some yarn and try to sell it, she also gave advice on colours that would be popular in the Spring which I am going to experiment with.

I am progressing well with my spinning and was delighted to see that 4 of my hand spun yarns sold at the Christmas fayre!

I have added several more hand spun yarns to my shop and am progressing well I think

These are the most recent spinnings of a beautiful batt from Phoenix fiber, the batt is soft and shiny and spins extremely easily

Still no sales in my shop woolnlove on etsy but I am still hopeful 

The next stage is to send photos to local or semi local yarn shops and hope they are interested

Spinning batts and rolags

I am really loving this spinning now, I have recently bought some batts and rolags from various source, including Bullywool fibres and so have plenty of work to keep me going over the next few months.

I especially love spinning with the fibres created by Phoenix fibres as she makes the most beautifully soft fibres to spin with.

Spinning, spinning,spinning

I am really enjoying improving my spinning techniques
I have bought a lovely rosewood  drop spindle and it's great!
I think that the skeins I have spun from various batts that I have purchased from various other etsyians are very pretty and I have categorized them as "art yarn"

I have not had any purchases of these yet but quite a lot of comments and interest.
Awaiting batts from Bullywool yarns, hopefully next week.
