Here is some grey shetland handspun I've recently finished. Once washed/weighed and tagged it will go up for sale in my Etsy Shop
And, here is a peek at my newest knitting project. This is another Paws to Remember scarf from Fiber Trends. This is the same pattern I used to make Stephen's Scarf. I'm using some navy blue Cascade 220 from my stash. This will also be added to my Etsy Shop when finished.
Spinning Update:
I've finished up the lamb's fleece I've been working on. I ended up with 1 lb. 7 oz. of beautiful yarn. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. This yarn is now for sale in my Etsy shop!
I've moved on to some nice gray shetland and will post more about it soon.
In the Kitchen:
Lot's of baking today. I started with some delicious cracked wheat bread this morning as well as some white:
And tonight for dinner we had home made pizza using the same bread recipe from above. It turned out wonderful and wasn't at all hard to make. The toughest part I think is planning ahead to get the bread started in time for dinner. Can you tell I'm having fun making bread again!

Currently on my wheel is a white Shetland lamb's fleece. I REALLY like this fleece. It's very soft with very high luster, a real pleasure to spin. I've a few ideas on what I'd like to make with this but am trying real hard to not make any decisions about it until it's all spun up. ;-)
With any luck I'll be able to make great progress on this fleece at two events I'll be attending. The first is on New Years Day at the Textile Center in Minneapolis. The event is called "Rock Day" and I'll be meeting several friends there for a day of spinning. The next is the weekend of January 12th. I'll be attending the Northern Light's Spinning Guild's annual retreat. It's a whole weekend of spinning, knitting, and socializing. There are some great classes to attend too.
