Thats what I call this handspun, because it is 50% alpaca and 50% colonial wool.
She is sportweight, 180 yards and weighs 70 grams.



When I plied these two yarns I tried out a homemade tentioned lazy kate consisting of 4 straight needles and a shoebox, worked like a charm!!!!!
And when I had plied the two I had some of the colonial left, so I navaho plied it.
6 grams and 9,5 yards of DK weight yarn.

Yes that is what I compare these yarns too, They are both from Knitpicks and they are in my posession because of the kindness of Julianne. They are sooooooooooo soft and I just want to cuddle them all the time! I am dreaming of what to make from these. Its probably not a big deal to most, but for me these are! Thank you so much Julianne!

I have gone back to work, after beeing home for a long time fist on sickleave then on maternityleave I started to work again a few days ago. I have a new job, with lots of interesting aspects and responsibilities. It is at a home for elderly where the majority suffors from different stages of dementia and physical limitations. I think it will bring me lots of joy and challenge me to use my creativity to find activities that can suit everyone who lives there. I needed to get my namesign so I could wear it again, and after looking and looking and some more looking I finally found it. I actually carved this myself 8 years ago when I was in the last stages of getting my degree as an activitydirector.

I had to start a new easy peasy project that would work as my mindless TV/Movie knitting. I decided on Miyake from Design club in Kauni EQ.
