Fiber Review -- January 11th

I've gotten a lot done so far this winter break!  Most of all I have experimenting a lot and going outside of my comfort zone to try new things.

I'm still trying to decide exactly what I want this blog to look like and what sorts of content I want to include.  So, for a while I want to try a bi-weekly fiber update, starting with today.

I've finished several goals for my Fiber Goals for 2012 these last two weeks:

I completed my first spin-to-knit project, some toasty socks for my wonderful mother:

I dyed yarn with black tea to produce a surprisingly gorgeous color:

Secret Spiral Cowl - My first attempt at designing a pattern

These last few days I have also finished some projects and started some new ones:

I unraveled a thrift store sweater, which turned out to be a huge disaster:

Spun some single ply merino wool:

I feel pretty productive, but then again I'm off classes until the end of the month and I'm hundreds of miles away from my lab.  Once I get back to college, most of my free time will disappear mysteriously.
