Motivation
The weather has turned cool, and with it comes the need for more wool. I'm going to ponder some projects (though I really need to finish some existing ones...all in good time...), and hopefully I can earn the right, by using up old wool, to buy some new stuff. I think my MIL wants a scarf - I've been hesitant to make stuff for people if I'm not sure that they'll appreciate it, but she's requested it a couple of times, and oohed and ahhed over one that I made, so I guess it should happen. I've made enough stuff for her grand child that she knows the quality of my work (which is sort of amateurish, IMHO).
I just finished a couple of things - a pair of socks for me that turned out to be mismatched, blast it. I used hand painted bargain wool, but I ran out of the first skein, so I used the second, which was dyed a bit darker. Oh well, I'll look like a supernerd, and just wear them in the company of friends and other non-judgemental types.
I also bought some beautiful homespun wool on ebay...when I saw the colours, I had to have it so I could make something for my half Swedish baby niece...who wouldn't wear these fuzzy lovely socks?
