Who knew that giving away yarn…..
…would be so, um, successful/busy/exciting/wonderful. Good Yarn Karma has been going “gang-busters”.
Every time I push the button to tell someone they have been successful a little smile brushes its way across my mouth. How cool. Free yarn. Love it.
To have a bit of a break I spun up some lush stuff for my Handspun Secret Pal. A big bunch of this…merino, silk, mohair locks I dyed myself…
carded
and spun
singles plyed with a 2ply 100% wool. I feel like it is a little loosely plied but is so beautifully balanced I can’t complain.
I didn’t show you the Leaf and Tendril sock completed yet.
Here’s a shot of the double knitted cuff – such a cool thing to do.
and a little more detail….
It’s such a wonderful pattern – will have to start the second sock before the dreaded “he that shall not be named” (namely Mr Second Sockitis) settles in to taunt me every time I day dream about starting a new project.
OMG! That is soooo beautiful! I just love the color! Those shades of blue are so lovely! I don’t knit, but I do crochet some, and I make cloth dolls, using “brushed” yarn to make the hair. I unravle the yarn and brush it out until it looks a lot like the second pic on this post. That would make such lovly hair for my fairy dolls!

So happy for you and your Karma partners! Excellent work.
Yeah. Ignore that comment before. I was hiding from the wrong person.
Your secret pal is a lucky one!The hand spun yarn is absolutely gorgeous. I’m so jealous!
