I haven’t been feeling well this week, so not much knitting or other crafting got accomplished. I thought I’d show you a few pictures of two finished objects.
This first was some fiber I was gifted by my spinning teacher, Lizette Hopkins, that I spun on my Mach2 Spinolution. It turned into a very squeezable, barberpoley, two-ply yarn. It was fun to work with, there was quite a mixture of fibers, dyed and non-dyed. And it wasn’t as evenly prepared as other fibers I had worked with before, so it was a little challenging.
This second one is a Holden shawlette that I knit from a couple skeins of sock yarn (don’t remember what they were) but I do remember I got them when I visited Philadelphia back in January 2009. That was a fun trip, and if you ever make it there, you have to try a pastrami sandwich from Famous 4th Street Deli.
Okay, I have to show you a picture ~ seriously 1/2# of meat on your sandwich, and it just melts in your mouth. I sure wish they would do mail order ~

Anyway, back to the knitting ~ I really enjoyed knitting this shawl and I love the feel of the yarn, good stitch definition, but not to tightly spun.
I hope everyone has a good week, see you all next week…
I plan to share with ~ In the Studio-Sneek Peek Friday, Creative Friday, Fiber Arts Friday, Fibers on Friday, {friday} Favorite Things, F O Friday, Made by You Monday

Love the shawl! What pattern is it?
Definitely LOVE the yarn. It looks so squishy I just want to reach out and hug it. 🙂
I just updated my post with the pattern, it’s Holden shawlette, thanks for visiting, come again…
I really love your shawl – very pretty!
Your shawl is stunning! I love the colors and the photography. Isn’t spinning addictive? I love creating yarn then getting to work with it.
thank you, yes it is, and so seductive, just a little bit more, and a little bit more…

It’s a beautiful shawl!! I love the mixed colors and the lace-edge!!

So, are you just totally in love with your Spinolution? I’m thinking that’s my dream wheel, though I haven’t actually spun on one in person yet. 🙂
Wow, that’s a beautiful shawl! Love your yarn.
I’ve been looking at the Holden pattern on Rav for a while. This is the first time I’ve seen one “in the (virtual) wild”. It’s gorgeous!
Love the colors! Your shawl is beautiful. And the sandwich… oh my goodness! 🙂
Nice job on the shawl. I would get half way, then set it aside and never finish.
I love that Holden shawl. I was at a workshop this weekend and another knitter had it in blue green, it is beautiful in both colorways.
