Simple Things

I finished my Simple Things Shawl on Tuesday. This is such a cute shawl pattern and it's simple too. Hence the name..

I really like how the picture came out above. Its all soft and fuzzy, like the shawl.

Here is a better picture though:


I used Araucania Ranco Multy. This pattern is perfect for variegated yarn. It let's the yarn talk and not the pattern.

I also made some yarn!

I hand dyed the roving (which was a natural brown color) and it came out a deep plum. Its BFL and very soft. I got around 170 yards of a worsted weight. Which seems to be the only weight I can spin...This will become a nice hat or cowl.

Now I got to get crackin on a picture for tomorrow! (it's "this moment") and I got nothin.
