It's been a while! Now that it is the time of year that I'm slowing down and basically only fibering, maybe I can join back in the fun on the forum.
I had a pretty intense fiber diet in 2015 after buying the Ashford 30" Elizabeth & a WooLee Winder for it and my Ashford Traveller Jumbo flyer ... I spent less than $100 the whole year on spinning fibers !!!
So far in 2016 I've been a spinning fool completing 680 out of 960 yards of 2-ply Cashgora and just last night 194 yards of 2-ply BFL (pictures to come).
Christmas gifts were a sweater & poncho for new granddaughter, 3 sets of hats & mittens for other granddaughter & her half-brothers, 8 more sets of hats/mittens, 2 shrugs & a pair of socks for MyHeaven's family (who we've adopted as part of our family).
Time to relax by the woodstove, spin and dream of spring.

Cyndi! Glad to see you post. I just wanted you to know I finished my first sock shortly after your get together in June and have the other going on the dpns. I've wanted to let you know, but just haven't had the time. I am sorry, I can't post a photo, but I love the finished sock & look forward when the other is done. I finally have all the ingredients at the same time to try your method for the goat milk soap. Just have to carve out the time. The family & the farm keep us hopping.

The 2nd photo is now dyed a light lavender and being knit into a rectangular shawl for my best friend.

Muller's Lane Farm, Everything is so Beautiful, including the children. I have never spun anything, I do crochet and knit, I am sure it is so full feeling when you see what you have made and those are some very special gifts. bopeep

Thanks, bopeep! Those are my grands! Only the shrug was made from my handspun. The rest was commercial yarn (easier on the Moms for cleaning!) The dolls, first pic & with the blue handspun) were knit with left-over sock yarns. This is the start of the shawl for my best friend.

Muller's Lane Farm, Beautiful work! I have also wondered where you have been, then thought I remembered you said you would not be on much for a little while.

Muller's Lane Farm, it's so good to see you back, and I loved the pictures. Your grands are cuties. I love the blue yarn in the next to last pic - just gorgeous.
