The rest of the fibre!

I finally finished spinning yarn from the bag of fibre Cindy gave me. It all turned out so beautiful!  I did the first skein with a wooden spindle I got at the Kitchener Waterloo Knitters Fair and the other, newer skein with a spindle Justin gave me. I keep forgetting what it's called. Ashford, I think?

Here are the pictures.

New handspun:







And now I'm going to start some new handspun. New colour = exciting! I think I'll use some merino I picked up in Kitchener. Sooo stoked :)

The Cursed Socks

They're finished :D








Technically, the beautiful mooshy yarn was cursed. BUT I broke the curse by finishing a pair of awesome Mystery Socks.

Requiem

I finished spinning a little bit of some fiber that Cindy gave me. It's soft and smooshy and purple and reminded me of the powers of the Nictus. Since I already have a spun yarn called Nictus I decided to name this yarn after one of the enemies in City of Heroes, Requiem.

Here's a picture of the skein. Sooooo purty!
