Spinning, Dyeing, and new lizards!

I'm officially an AWFUL blogger. Considering the infrequency of my posts and all. Don't think anyone's reading but me though so I don't suppose it really matters :)

I dyed up some superwash merino this past week. I've started spinning it into fine singles to ply into a two ply fingering. I'd like to use it to knit a pair of gloves for fall.



I also have two new members of my family! I adopted two leopard geckos at our latest MHS meeting. They're so cute! Here's a pic of Matt holding them.



Oh and here is a new pic of Kenshin in all his spikey glory:

Some fresh top to spin

I'm been going fiber crazy lately. I bought some superwash "pencil roving" from fiberoptic on etsy. It's SO gorgeous (the colorway is superstition). I've been spinning it and was struck with a mad craving to make my own version on merino to spin up too. I have a small obsession with green and a fondness for aqua and purple so here's what I came up with:


I just can't wait to spin it up! I think I'd like to use the superwash to make a vest. This may become.... Well... A purse or something?

I obviously have no idea yet. XD
