Craft of Bust!!! - 2/19

A super quick and short note. So far so good w/ the 'Craft or Bust' challenge. I have one skein down and a multitude to go:) This skein has 230 yards and I rather like how it turned out. I have a second skein hanging to dry right now.

I am making progress on the turquoise shawl. Although it really doesn't seem like I've done too much as I'm in turning the curve right before the final stretch so to speak...lol

Spent a bit of time the other day picking the alpaca fleece so that it can be carded prior to spinning. I'm hoping to have that done by this week end and have a nice little stack of alpaca punis to spin from. Yes, in case you are wondering, I did say punis. After this week end, I will show you what I mean via some pictures and explain a little bit more about why I like to roll tight punis to spin from:) Until then, happy knitting and happy spinning!

I just love this shepherdess's fleece and have never been disappointed by a purchase from her:) Unfortunately for me though, I have a much more of this fleece to spin if I intend to knit a sweater from it this year..haha

Other Fun Facts..................

I taught myself to knit by watching a woman while on a flight from Scotland to the USA in 1996.

I taught myself how to spin yarn Feb 15th, 2007. I think I've done fairly well:)

'Lunabud' is a combination of two dogs' names I was loved by, Buddy and Luna:)
