Updates and a Mess with a Headache

I’m afraid this may be the beginning of headache season. Oh joy.

So, here is an update, albeit mostly pictorial, from over the past several days.

Oh, how it warms my heart, “Kamryn”:http://kamrynlily wearing the last hat I sent to her:

Oh, and the hat, since I didn’t show it here, apparently:

Here’s my 2nd spin at hand-spindling. Not so hot, but better than “my first attempt.”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/70631296/ I really really want to make it to a second Sunday spinning group here locally. The weather stopped me this month, maybe next month.

The pile on the far left edge is my first attempt, this attempt is what is on the spindle.

What is this mess?

Mom spoils me- here is the yarn for 2 more Weasley sweaters (I’ll be doing an “S” and “A” sweaters, and she’s already started the first of two “R” sweaters) and sock yarn so I can make “these lovely socks.”:http://www.knitpicks.com/projects/itemid_50440220/Projects_Display_Yarn.aspx

And last, but definitely not least, here are the RedToBlue socks, obviously fraternal twins, but still patterning out beautifully.

Doesn’t that stripe look strange? It’s for the afterthought heel- to be removed later.
