January Spin-In

Posted on | January 27, 2009 | 14 Comments

We’re back from the Destin January Spin-In and it was great fun! 

The theme for this year was Over the Top.  One of my roomies, Diana, made this hat:

The bluebird of happiness is a combination of knit, crochet and felted fibers.

It was very creative and life-like!

Cindy was a hoot.  She made this hat from her very first handspun, mimicking commercially-made hats sold at fiber festivals.

Cindy’s sheep is definitely a ram.

I may have talked the girls into splitting a Romney fleece from Far Out Farms…  The fleece is actually gray with light tips, it has a LOT of dirt and oil in it, but when washed, the locks have incredible luster and crimp.  I plan to wash the locks carefully and hope to rent the guild’s Viking combs for processing – if they can be found!  If not, I’ll wash the fleece and save it for when I have combs of my own.

That wraps up the pictures I took at the Spin-In!  I bought a lot of stuff.  A LOT of stuff.  I made up for only going to the market once at SOAR!  I’ll take pics in the next few days, because I got some really pretty fiber. 

I also finished knitting all the pieces of my January NaKniSweMoDo sweater!  I’m going to block it tonight and hope to finish it up while watching the Superbowl this weekend – a day late, but that’s okay (I’ve already started my February sweater).   It’s hard to concentrate on knitting though, now that I have all this wonderful fiber in the house!
