SpinningLara: June 2008
http://spinninglara.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. I've been bitten by the crochet bug, or should I say frog:. I collect pin cushions and couldn't resist making the little frog, and the tomato:. The tomato body is hand spun mohair and the green top is hand spun. Colonial wool. The frog is Vanna's Choice. I can't believe. I bought something that Vanna would endorse, it was on sale, what can I say? This acorn came from a pattern on Ravelery. Lace yarn. It's way too small for a sock yarn holder. The lace edge is 50/50 llama and hand d...

SpinningLara: March 2008

Wednesday, March 26, 2008. The pattern for the bag started out as the brown bag pattern that came for free with the yarn. (It can also be found on Knitty.com, just do a search for brown bag pattern and it should come up) I decided as I was casting on that the little bag would not be big enough to haul all my stuff around, so it went under major alteration. The picture is not great, I couldnt seem to get the color right. It's a beautiful lavender and green. Shown here on our rosemary bush. 3 I then took D...

Tuesday, August 12, 2008. The Best Knitted Tank Pattern Ever! The weekend before last, Andy and I took a trip up to Orchardside. Yarn shop for their annual fiber festival and sale. The shop is surrounded by mountains, with a babbling brook, and a free wandering peacock. The ladies at the shop were more than nice and helped me with my yarn and pattern purchases. I picked up Norah Gaughan's. Vol 2 from Berroco. So I could knit the Flow. For this one I used Artyarns. Marine which I loved!

SpinningLara: Spinning Hair of the Moe and Locks
http://spinninglara.blogspot.com/2008/07/spinning-hair-of-moe-and-locks.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Spinning Hair of the Moe and Locks. It's been a busy spinning week. This is some awesome 50/50 mohair and wool that I picked up at Maryland Sheep and Wool from Persimmon Tree Farm. I spun it into balanced singles and I plan to knit a small shawl or wrap with it. It's beautiful fall colors so I will save it for later on in the year. The mohair is very soft and bloomed. Nicely when I washed the finished yarn. I have to say this was one of the easiest rovings. To be done with it.
