I've been spending most of my knitting time on the BYOB from Knitty, with very little spinning going on because I want to finish it by Sunday so I can give it to my Secret Sister at church. I know that knitting her things is pretty much a dead giveaway who it is because I'm known for my knitting there, but I'd rather give her nice things she can use than something from the dollar store that she's just going to toss or give away to someone else. With a limit of $5, there's not a lot you can do even with an imagination. Which I don't have much of.
So...it's getting a bit boring to knit while watching one of my delicious British mysteries or dramas and then have to tink back two rows because I messed up the pattern. I must be making progress, though, because it's getting longer. I am still going to make an adjustment on the handles and make them longer because my SS most likely will use it for school and will need more of a shoulder strap rather than a handle.
I've decided not to buy a spinning wheel any time soon. I really do like the portability of my kick spindle and it's easy to use albeit slow. I do hope to get some pictures here sometime soon. I'm not much of a photographer although I would like to improve my skills. It's intimidating to see all those wonderful pictures on the blogs that I read and mine are out of focus, too dark to see, or too light. I guess if I would just practice a bit more, my skills might actually improve.
Well, off to fix supper and settle in for some more British mysteries and Ballykissangel, year 4.
