Knitting, Spinning, and De-Stashing

I didn't spin on Monday or Tuesday....I needed a break from spinning. Instead, I knitted the parts for the Noni bag called, "Night Garden Felted Evening Bag". The individual pieces are shown here. Now, all I have to do is felt it! (And put it together, of course!)


I then spun for an hour last evening (I've got to keep up with the Summer Spinning Challenge!) I spun my coral colored Merino top again....I think I'm now down to about 1/2 a lb. left to spin! Wahoo! If I can just keep this up, I might actually make a dent in my fiber stash by the end of the summer! The skein in the picture is what I plied on Sunday....I finally got around to taking a picture!


Now, for destashing my yarn. I've joined the "Bertiealong". Bertie has created a gorgeous beaded scarf pattern - Check it out via the adorable duck button on the right. I had some Cascade Success (50% Alpaca/ 50% Silk) that would be just perfect for the project. Yes...the yarn really DID come from my stash. I KNEW I'd find the perfect project for it.....eventually!






And FINALLY, the felted Brainwash Bag is dry! It didn't felt as "solidly" as I'd like, but it felted evenly. Part of the reason may be that I did it using the Faire Isle Method, rather than the Intarsia Method. Here's the picture....
