Spinning The Pink Bobbin

I just passed the second full bobbin and I am starting the third on my mini fiber combo spin for the 2025 Pigskin Party KAL. I am hoping this really scores some points!

This set of minis are pinks, oranges, maroons and some rainbow-ish fiber. This fiber is more consistent and higher quality. I am hoping it makes for a more pleasurable spin.

There are lot of the same colors in this bag. I will have to be very intentional to use it without big swaths of any of the same colors and sprinkle in the rainbow. But so far, so fun!

Happy Spinning!!

Finished Bobbin #2

I am finally finished with this infernal bobbin. I really had to force myself to want to spin this rest of this fiber.

The colors were not my favorite and the fiber type was all over the place. I couldn’t get into the spin and my consistency was crap. And done is better than perfect.

This bobbin was the “and the rest” from my fiber minis. I am really glad I spun this second and didn’t save it until last. I would have struggled worse. From this end, you can see the variety of wild colors in this. There is more black in other parts of this spin but I thought this end was beautiful.

Now I get to start the pinks! Happy Spinning!!

Prize Surprise

Awhile back I completed the Ice Cream and Soda mitts by Melanie Berg for the #BigBadBergALong last fall. I entered my FO in several of the podcast group contests. Well turns out I won in the In A sKnit group!

It’s a lovely small project bag made by 19 Stitches.  

Inside was a veritable treasure trove!

I received an adorable set of stitch markers, a mini skein, a frixion pen, and a matching WIP cozy. I may have done a little happy dance when this arrived in the post. I highly recommend checking out the video podcast by Krisluvswool and 19 Stitches Etsy shop.

Happy Knitting!
