The witchcraft has begun. This ability to transmute fluff into wearable, necessary, life saving clothes has begun to trickle through the spinning-to-needle process and we have a result. We have ... a hat.
People, I feel like a boss. I have found how to turn mud into gold. In primitive societies I would be a priestess now... along with the guy who learned how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. Stories should be written about me and I should go down in folklore like Rumpelstiltskin... because, dude, I can turn fluff into solid cloth. Hear. Me. Roar.
Yes, I am rather happy about this amazing transformation of myself from a consumer to producer of yarn.
Now all I have to do is practice until the yarn is a consistent thickness, learn how to dye, buy some sheep, buy the farm to put the sheep in, learn how to be a sheep farmer, learn how to shear and card and .... I can knit more hats.
Your spinning, plying and knitting look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Linda. I'm enjoying the process very much indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love this Debbie. What an incredible skill to possess.
ReplyDeleteThankyou val. I do feel fortunate to have 'got it' now....
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I've been having a good read throughout your blog and I'm fascinated by this amazing spinning and the beautiful knitting you do. I'm a crocheter - I keep meaning to learn to knit because it seems so much more versatile. Had a laugh about your comment re 'might as well move to Australia'... it does feel like the ends of the earth here ;) Anyway, lovely to discover your blog. Kx
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't mean because australia is the ends of the earth. I meant because its winter there now and the fast will be at least ten hours shorter! Glad you found me too. Yes, learn to knit, you'll be glad you did ;) xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! I love how you show us the whole process. Thanks! Love the hat too! Thank you for sharing your post with our readers on Bonbon Break!!
