I can't spin much right now, and I'm hoping my back improves soon as I have fluffy to continue with, but I decided to knit up some fibre that I'd spun from Leading Men Fiber Arts (whose podcast I listen to) in the glacial Colourway. I had spun it up in 4 separate colours and then plied them together.
I got 240 metres of Aran weight yarn from this. I have decided to knit a hat by another favourite podcaster of mine, Laura Linneman from the Knitgirllls podcast. As you can see, the colours are all over the place, but...
It does remind me of the colours of the glacier I climbed in 1982, but that's a story for another time.
I'm in the process of having a rethink of my short and medium term plans for Knatters Knits. I've decided to launch my own yarn label for hand painted British wool. This is in its infancy right now, but watch this space.
Another project is in the planning stages, and I'll announce that fairly soon, but it's an adjunct to the sales, and is very exciting. More on that next time.
I've also been participating in a knit along for Woolly Wormhead's latest hat knit along. Hopefully I'll be able to show you my finished article in the next week or so. You can find more out about that project at www.http://www.ravelry.com/groups/woolly-wormheads-hats. I chose to use Titus yarn in the beautiful maroon Colourway from baa ram ewe, particularly as it's made in Yorkshire.
