I've been enjoying lots of down time with the hubby and our friends lately. It is really nice. Eric is done working for the season and again join the ranks of the unemployed last week. I always forget how much I enjoy having a stay at home hubby in the winter. For instance yesterday he went grocery shopping for me! (A chore I thoroughly dread.)
I've been spinning a lot lately and am trying to decide if I want to add handspun to my online shop or keep spinning in hopes of doing local bazaars and craft fairs...any thoughts? I starting going through the storage tote last night to reskein, check WPIs, and label. I got 4 skeins done...only about 60 left to go...I'm not going to kill myself working on it though, I am going to try and get caught up doing a few each night and then be more diligent about doing all this BEFORE tossing them in the finished bin.
I've also been knitting! I finished a hat and scarflette set from some handspun and it is all for me! I need to take a pic because I just love how it turned out...I will definately post a pic when I get one...maybe I will make my hubby take one at lunch today and add it this afternoon. I haven't had the knitting bug for a while...since well before I got my wheel, BUT the joy of knitting my own handspun has reignited the passion!
I'd been thinking about it for a while and had tossed out the idea over at my group with some interest so I decided to go for it! Here's the details:
