Spaghetti Arms

I've been making a valiant attempt at spinning with the spindle Jonie sent me. While recently spinning (among other things) has been encroaching on my knitting time, spinning will not be replacing knitting in my heart. I think maybe I have some tension issues. I'm not suggesting I'll be giving up on spinning, just that I'm experiencing a steep learning curve.

There is good news in that I haven't broken my self-imposed Resolution rules, and I have only been knitting on my socks so far this week. Of course, there hasn't been much knitting getting done...things have been busy...but when I've had crafting time, I've been mesmerized by the siren calls of this guy.

Sunday I helped at the LYS teaching a workshop on Kool-Aid dying yarn. It was an absolute success and everyone had a wonderful time. There were um, I think, 10 or 12 people there. (I never had a chance to count.) It was such fun. Dying yarn is addictive...once I start, I can't seem to stop. Here's the latest.

Grape. I only used two packets for a skein of creme colored Cascade 220 superwash. I am disproportionately pleased with the outcome.

Ice Blue. I was completely jazzed to find the Ice Blue kool-aid.
