knitting wash day and a dash of spinning

 Sometimes the day is so cold and dreary that the lights and the heating are on pretty much all day. It was like that recently so I took advantage of the warm house ( and having a dehumidifier) and washed all  hat and headband knits.


These have been fun to knit over the last few months and any scraps go into knitting headbands. I have made a few fingerless mitts but they are still in the wash bag

The spinning wheel has had an outing or two as I had 140gm of bfl/texel to spin, it will need an overdye I think but at least its now spun and washed.



I still have quite a bit of yarn to skein up neatly, measure and label so I can see exactly where I am plus a fair amount to spin up still. The Ashford e-spinner is still my wheel of choice and I continue to ply on that even when I have spun the singles on the Argonaut.
