WIP Wipe Out

Wednesday is update date for the WIP Wipe Out on the "One Crazy Fiber Lady" blog. (See links on left) I wanted to have pics up on the blog but didn't get it done. So today is picture day.
But first, I must post the skein I just finished. The roving is a beautiful cotton candy pink Shetland wool and it spun up so nice! I've only been spinning about a year and a half, so all I can say is "WOW!"

OK, now to the WIP. I finished my first sock (for my daughter). Its not perfect, but wearable. She really likes the colors. Working on the 2nd sock now. These socks are knitted on double pointed needles. My friend Judy always makes socks on circular needles, so she is going to teach a few of us how that works. My other WIP project is fingerless gloves. No pic tho. My camera went funky as I was trying to take a picture of the progress.

Isn't Winter Over Yet?!


The weather sure has been crazy around here. The other day it was in the 70's and now we're back to blustery weather. Snow is even in the forecast. Why do I live in Pennslvania?! Well, at least this gave me time at home in the warm to get some pictures ready to post.

Here is some beautiful Ashland Bay roving that I spun and made handwarmers for me. My hands are always cold so this way my hands stay toasty and I can still do things with my hands. They are SO soft! I'm pretty proud of them.


I joined a WIP Wipeout to help motivate me to finish the projects. I'm starting with a sock project. Finished the first sock for my daughter, now I gotta work on the 2nd one. There are too many projects I want to work on, but just can't start another without finishing what I have. I'll post pictures of the works in progress tomorrow.
