Few things

I finally have something to show for a post, actually few. First of all, a Pink Thing:

Pink Thing

I handspun the yarn from the fiber in the Louet Spindle Kit, after I have dyed the roving. Among my handspuns, I feel that this is the first one worth knitting.
Second up, Soysilk Scarf:

I think I am getting it

First there was this one, on a Louet drop spindle:

My first yarn
If you think, it looks like a dead animal, I agree.

Then Guglielmina and I made this one:

My second handspun
At least an improvement in color, I dyed the roving before spinning.

Guglielmina brought with her some black and white stuff that became this:

Tuxedo
41.0 yards in superbulky, but I have more fiber

And now I am making this:

Pink Singles
Singles, fiber hand-dyed by me
