Suzie

The new toy has arrived! I've been eyeing Majacraft wheels for a while and finally I could justify the purchase of one. This is my new Majacraft Suzie pro.

Handspun lace

I'm very pleased with it. Almost 800m, 116g, slightly thicker than I anticipated, but still nice.
50%merino/50%silk from A Verb For Keeping Warm in Kerala colourway. I'm still thinking Artichaut for this one. But I'm not 100% sure as I was after something finer, so maybe Artichaut in my silk lace yarn... will see.

I'm still working on Casino shawl, and I'm well beyond 2/3 point, maybe I already have 3/4 done. It's coming out really pretty.

spinning lace

I purchased this lovely 50% silk, 50% merino combed top quite a long time ago at A Verb for keeping warm. The colour is beautiful and almost solid, so I decided to spin it fine and make two ply lace. So far I've finished first 2 oz and have another 2 oz to go. I'm hoping to get enought yardage to make Artichaut. I'm getting a little addicted to patterns by Anne Hanson...
