Loving this poncho – ThreadLover. Embroidery, knitting, sewing, spinning, weaving…. September 23, 2016. I’m happy to say that I’m finally finished knitting the poncho. This was a true labor of love, since not only did I knit the garment, but I spun the mohair yarn also from a fleece. The only thing I did not do was shear the angora goat. I enjoyed processing the raw mohair fleece, carding, spinning, dyeing and finally knitting the project. My lovely daughter was the model. Do you see the curled edges?

Realizing that they WERE in the secret place where I THOUGHT I put them, and looked AFTER losing them, but somehow, somehow… I just overlooked them during my REPEATED search in that spot.

More sock knitting… – ThreadLover. Embroidery, knitting, sewing, spinning, weaving…. More sock knitting…. January 5, 2017. I think this yarn is lovely. The colors make me think of Van Gogh’s painting, Starry Night Over the Rhone. No pattern is being used. I’ll make it up as I go. I already have an idea of the design I want to incorporate within these socks. By the time these are completed, I’m guessing I will have knit about 47,000 stitches? Knitting four socks at a time: Wool, polyamide and silk.
