You might think I’d not been doing anything, but I have — I just haven’t been talking about it much.  In fact, I’d rather let the pictures do the talking…

I finally dug my wheel out of the moving boxes.  Here’s the result: handspun Merino top from Stony Mountain Fibers…

I’ve also been doing a lot of spinning on the beautiful spindle that Sheila at Journeywheel picked for me.  Here’s my first attempt at plying on a spindle…

Here’s the chunky jacket I was designing for my daughter, using Creme Puff yarn from Decadent Fibers, and it was going fantastically when…  when…  I realised I can’t find the second skein!!!  It wasn’t in the moving box I thought it was, and the garage is full to bursting with boxes… it could be in any of them!  This has been quite a blow, and I have completely lost my knitting mojo.  I just can’t find anything I feel like knitting now…

And here’s the Debbie Bliss baby cardigan I was working on.  It’s come out so lovely, and I am really pleased with it.

Really, this cardi should have had an unhappy ending, because my daughter would have surely outgrown it long before I finished it, if it weren’t for the beating she’s taken from her food allergies that stopped her growing for seven months.  Getting her diagnosed and managing her condition has been a really difficult experience for her and for me, but the silver lining is that she stayed small enough that this cardi fits her perfectly now!  It feels a bit sacriligious to say that though…
