This is a 27g/.95oz Jenkins Marblewood Lark on a walnut shaft. It’s my latest addition!
And the first project is 4oz of BaaBaa Huey BFL in Pine gradient.

I’ve been working on some small stuff. Not a lot of spinning right now, so here’s what I have:
This is the unblocked Eileen Mary (called Mary Helen in my projects). Nice pattern and nice yarn. I’m waiting for it to dry, for a final picture.
Wingfeathers in Dream in Color Baby. The yarn was bought by mistake. I thought it was red, not orange. I haven’t done crochet in a long time, so that was sort of fun. I may do a few more of these.
New project, Joan Fuller (called Joy Levin in my projects). I’ve had this yarn for a long time, and got it from Joy. This seems like the right project at long last for it and it’s coming along nicely.
Zuzu’s Petals for Quinn’s girlfriend, Shanna. I wanted to do something for her. I like to make shawlettes, but thought this shawl/cowl might work better for her. Bought the yarn while at the office for a staff meeting.
And since I had leftover yarn, I made a beanie for Shanna to go with the shawl.

One of my favorite new blogs does her resolutions on Groundhog Day. I thought it was a great idea! So here are my fiber resolutions (which I’m going to cross post over on Spinditis.)
- Knit three cardigans. At least one will be done from handspun
- Buy yarn only for specific projects. The only exemption is sock yarn.
- Sew at least three new skirts and tops.
- Make at least three new pairs of socks.
- Sell off some knitting books/magazines
- Use or give away yarn and fiber stash
- Design one sweater and one shawl
- Make as much food as possible from scratch
- Start an herb garden.
- Do more dyeing.
I want to work in color this year. I love my natural colored fleeces, but I feel the need for more color. I also want to work more intentionally this year. I want to knit sweaters to go with clothes that I make. I don’t know how many more years I will be able to knit and spin. Best to start working with an end in mind.
