Spinning and Lace
It has been a long time. I'm dealing with quite a few emotional things, related to my relationship and life in general. I will need to make some decissions in the future and I'm scared and insecure. I do know I want to be happy and I'm not that happy at the moment. But I will get there. I just need time.
I have been knitting and spinning. I just started spinning again and I'm loving it. By doing it more I'm getting better results and that makes me quite happy. So lets show of the spinning first :
Tulips colourway from Way Back, from the Spunky Club. There was no note in the yarn, but I think it was BFL. It was 4oz. Of course I also lost the note on which I wrote the yardage. This was still on the wheel (started for Project Spectrum Fire) and I decided to try Navajo Plying it. Turned out quite ok. I think it's sport weight. And not overplied, like my first try at Navajo Plying. It actually looks quite ok! :D
In honor of Project Spectrum Earth, and because I feel like spinning again, I dug through the fiber stash and selected all the green/brown colourways. This was the first one I spun up :
I also have been knitting, but I don't seem to finish that much. I have been knitting on various things, but I seem to be into scarfs and lace again these days. So I managed to finish up this :
It's the Feather Lace Scarf in a blue mohair from my LYS, knit on 4mm needles. It was started long time ago, and finished on April 25, 2008. I used about 50gr of yarn, don't know the yardage.
I don't know if there's anyone reading my blog who's into crochet, but I was wondering if anyone knew this pattern, or can figure it out. (it's a Ravelry link). I've been trying to contact the knitter, but got no reply. I would love to knit it. I know some crochet, but not enough to figure this one out (and I have been trying!). I can't figure out how to conect the flowers without breaking the yarn.

Dear Emily.
I peek in on your blog once in a while and I like what you do and make.
I am so sorry to hear about your "trouble"- it will work out.
I felt the need put a comment because I am dealing with probably the same stuff- want to be happy and loved- its not easy- and breaking out on 20 years relationship is not easy either( 16 y. of marriage).Just so you know , you are not alone.:-)
Hi Emily. I am sure you don't remember me, we did a yarn trade once. Just to tell you that I am going through troubles in my relationship too (4 years, much less time, but it hurts too) and I am not sure, but maybe for me this will mean a breakup.
Just want you to know that I am sure some way things will work out. Maybe in a different way for each of the three of us, maybe some of these relationships will break and some will mend, but I am sure you need a hug...
