Patty came into to town to go to Knitter's Connection with me. We took Cookie A's Sock Innovation class. It was fantastic!! She brought a lot of the sock's that are included in her book. They are even more fabulous in person. I have my sock on the needles. I'll post a picture when I have a few more repeats of the pattern done.
Another highlight of Knitters Connection was discovering Fiber Optic. These ladies make absolutely beautiful yarn. The yarn I'm using for the Cookie A socks are from their booth. I also bought two other skeins. Yummy! Yummy!
Friday night and Saturday were spent learning to spin. Patty brought her wheel and a bag for of wool. Some of the wool was left its natural color and others were dyed with left-over Easter egg dyes. Those color were fun to play with. Below is a picture of Blake getting a lesson from his Aunt Patty. He chose orange and blue for his first spin.
I spun the natural on Friday night and took up the multi-colored fun after Blake gave up. I found myself getting so focused on what my hands were doing I would forget about my feet and I'd start pedaling too fast.
Here is the natural after it took a bath this morning.
Here is the multi-colored after its bath.
Now I need to figure out what to do with them. I think a little cowl of some sort might just be in order.
