another quiz!

What kind of yarn are you?

You are Merino Wool.You are very easygoing and sweet. People like to keep you close because you are so softhearted. You love to be comfortable and warm from your head to your toes.
Take this quiz!

well it wasn't novelty fun fur!! thankfully ;-)

and this was what Ruthy, DD1 came out as... pretty spot on, though the cashmere option was always a possibility!

You are Shetland Wool. You are a traditional sort who can sometimes be a little on the harsh side. Though you look delicate you are tough as nails and prone to intricacies. Despite your acerbic ways you are widely respected and even revered.

Ooh get me!!

they didn't have a section for Knitting Anarchists though which would probably fit the bill better, i don't think I've ever followed a pattern to the letter ever !!!

What Kind of Knitter Are You?

You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While finishing a piece is the plan, you still love the process, and can't imagine a day going by without giving some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation involves leaving ample space for the stash and supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn ends and you begin. Take this quiz!

" Spring Rainbow"

" Spring Rainbow"
Originally uploaded by fibre~fairy.

I dyed this laceweight to send as part of a "Spring time Secret Santa" exchange, I loved how the colours turned out. I started intending it to be purples and blues and just ended up mixing up a rainbow as I went.

this is it in process

and this was the silk & cord needleroll I made to go with it - designed for DPNs circs & hooks.

embellished with a felt & stitched motif

"Heart breakingly Cute Baby Kimono"

"Heart breakingly Cute Baby Kimono"

I've finally got this made for a friend's baby - I just hope she hasn't grown toooo much!!
it's a gorgeous pattern - I added the eyelets at the bottom to match the YO increases and then added the ribbon too. Very cute ( BTW the title is the name of the pattern, not me bragging!)
It's knit in a fabulous natural colour DK wool from Coldharbour Mills in Devon, it was very twisty to knit but blocked beautifully.

I've got lots of catching up to do here - but for now here's a pic of the perfect " hat" for me & my hair! It's hard to fit your spare pencil under a normal hat.
For those logging these details, I CO 88 on 5mm in Noro Silk Garden, and it's plenty big enough for my larger than average head ( regular off the shelf hats tend to be on the small size for me..) so there you are.
I'm just starting one for tiny headed DD1, CO 88 but in a DK ish yarn and 4.5mm

here's another pic
