Do you ever feel, that like, no matter how hard you try sometimes your photo just DOES NOT do whatever the heck you're photographing justice?! Well...I do and this is the perfect example.
Scrappy singles spun from @hellohydrangea's #yarnscraps are allll ready to ply! Plying is by far my favorite part of the process. Singles are cool and all but I love what happens once the two are married together in all their #scrappy goodness.

My daughter is going back to daycare today after her third ear infection in 3 months. I have so much on my plate these days and I'm super tempted to ignore the pull of the spinning wheel and loom(s) today and actually get some werk-werk done...BUT she's going to daycare tomorrow too () and all of that will just have to wait one more day damnit. Today, I will extend love to my creative side and make ✂️, drink coffee ☕️, and be FREE. *DISCLAIMER: I love my kids but it's been a long winter.
What are YOU up to today?

Handspun yarn is amazing. Even when I'm the one who spun it and it's *all over the place* with thickness and thinness. It's funny how it still seems so perfect. Flaws and all. ☺️I LOVE YOU SWEATER!!❣️❣️❣️❣️
Pattern is my new fave! Briggs Street from @quinceandco by Dawn Catanzaro ❤️ I can layer this over Ev Re Thing. And yes, I tried! I made it short sleeved to save enough handspun for a Christmas present hat. Also short sleeved bc I kept trying it on as I went over flannel shirts and it looked so rad! Anyways, I'm really, really, really excited this is finally dry! 2 days to knit and FOREVER to dry (not in the tropics anymore, so no more 15 min dry times outside)
I'm all smiles. I feel like I did something amazing even though I know it just looks like a sweater. --ok, I'll stop being such a noob now ❤❤❤Hoping you are doing awesome! Catch me up on you!! ❤❤❤

I finished this gradient last week. One ply of tussah silk, one of merino/silk. The merino silk was a handpainted top from @elfenwolle that I broke apart and recarded with hand cards. I haven't measured the yardage yet. It might become a shawl? It will probably become a shawl. So much silk means it's super soft and drapes beautifully.

Yesterday was weigh-in day for the rabbits, and they did not disappoint! Samwise, the largest of the litter, weighs an amazing 6lbs 4oz at just 11 weeks old. The goal weight for a Giant Angora buck is at least 9.5 pounds at 8 months old. Sam shouldn’t have any problem doing reaching that weight in time.
