More Spinning! And a Pair of Socks

Mmmm, this just reminds me of Sherbet all the way.

Fiber from The Loopy Ewe, Sakina Needles, Briar Rose, 8oz 100% Alpaca.

I *loved* spinning this. The second bobbin full went a lot smoother and more consistently than the first and I had quite a bit left over from itafter plying. I plied that one into a mini-skien and gave it to a friend of mine. She's going to knit it into a little hat for her 5 month old little girl.

Next up is this rich chocolatey Coopworth. The fiber is from Louet. Steven ordered a whole trunk show from them, and believe me, there's some beautiful stuff. I snagged a few bags for myself and this is one of them.

I'm going for laceweight with this, and I think I might have it. My singles are sewing thread thick (which when allowed to relax back on itself is a lovely two ply laceweight), but it's taking - f o r e v e r - to spin.

But it will definitely be worth it!

Another pair of Embossed Leaves.

What can I say, I love this pattern!

The yarn is Classic Elite Alpaca Sox. If you haven't tried it yet, I thoroughly urge you to run to your LYS and get some. It's lovely!
