So, granny squares, spinning and Super Awesome Happy Rainbow Socks are my primary projects at the moment. I posted about the squares on Monday, nothing more to report really at this stage.
My socks are as super, awesome and happy as ever. I'm torn between a desire to have them finished, and the pleasure of working on them *laughs* I still have a few stripes to go, as I plan to use up every scrap of yarn to have them be as long as possible. I can't wait to wear them, although the weather right now is not conducive to hand knit socks *laughs* Not that I am complaining, I like the sunny weather!
Spinning is going well, although I do seem to end up with tiny bits of fluff all over me and everything else when I'm doing it... More practice required I think ;)
One thing I have noticed from this picture - look how varied the colours are *grins* After spending so much time working with grey, I seem to have subconsciously chosen a whole array of bright colours. It certainly makes for a more vibrant in progress pile ;)
As ever, if you want more lovely knitting and yarn along content, head to Tami's and Ginny's *smiles*
Those socks do look quite cheering. I'll admit to having a thing for obnoxious colors, though.
ReplyDeletere your socks - I love knitting something that I enjoy so much that I don't want it to be finished - process over results. it's a rare feeling - but a lovely one! I think it probably has something to do with stripes actually - it's so nice seeing them materialise ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere is no better compliment for a project than saying you love knitting it so much you never want it to end. I love the socks too. The colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose are such happy project! I love knitting when I enjoy it so much I can't let it be over.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have an innate talent for spinning, it's like you've been doing it forever! So lovely, I bet it is s-o-f-t!
ReplyDeleteSuch a rainbow of fun! Spinning takes time, I STILL get fluffies on me, I really think it depends on the fiber you use.
ReplyDeleteWith those rainbow socks in the picture, there'll always be a lot of bright contrast from grey! I love them though, and can see why you want to stretch out the knitting of them!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a break from the grey - lovely colours and your spinning looks great (especially after mine! I must practice too!!!!)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely week

Loving the rainbow socks!
ReplyDeleteThe fluff involved with spinning is just part of the fun! I usually end up with it sticking to me. You have some great projects going as always!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that rainbow! I just got some yarn to cast on for some rainbow socks, myself :) You must have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI am having the same granny love. Not sure if I like them yet I am obsessed. Stripes are fun indeed.
ReplyDeleteAll of those colors make me super happy. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also the type to have several projects going at once. I like to let things "percolate" sometimes. I love all colors, so you choices are great.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I do love all the colours in the photo above. I just can't say how much I love those rainbow socks, they are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've got grey covered for the time being :)
ReplyDeleteThe weather will soon cool down again, just in time for when you finish your rainbow socks!
Oh I love the socks. And your granny squares are coming along really well. There is a lovely rhythm to them so just keep plugging along and something beautiful will emerge.
ReplyDeleteYour socks are just so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteSpinning sounds so much fun - gotta have me some!
I absolutely love the colors you are using! It will cool down soon enough, and oh the joy those socks will bring when you wear them!
ReplyDeleteI think the fluff has to do with fiber prep-- I had very fluffy BFL that has left little purple bits all over as I spun it up, but my first BFL braid was much more dense, and didn't shed nearly at all. I don't know why one braid was fluffier than the other-- the first one was woolgatherings and the second one was blarney yarn, but both 100% BFL.
