I've been spinning in every spare moment to make more yarn for my Queen sized, Shetland wool, Grey Blanket! I only work on it in the winter because it is WAY too hot to knit in the summer!
I LOVE my Grey Blanket! Even if it is only about 1/2 done.
I love the natural variations in the silver-grey fleece. And it's yummy soft and unbelievably warm!!
I love my Grey Blanket and was planning on keeping it for myself. But, lately, I've been thinking that I should offer it for sale (for a ridiculously high price!) because I really need to try to bring in more money to maintain my flock...
We'll see when it's done (which could be in another year or so!)

"It takes me a whole year to grow a wool Blanket too!"
That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I love the seed stitch border.
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, it's gorgeous!! I adore the color. I would call it a soft dove grey. It's not the steely grey of a depressing day at all. And it looks so snuggly and warm.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make one for everybody who comments on this post! (giggle...I had to try!)
What is the contraption in the first photo?
