The fiber is Spinning Awesome Good, merino/tussah silk, Aboslute Gecko and
Gemstone in merino/tussah silk.
I've decided to spin them together, 2-ply, 256yds,
and 447yds,
plus 188yds for the lace part.
I like seeing them together.
I've also finished, and sent off Hannah's birthday socks. They are nothing special. I used Regia Bamboo, they are so soft, and shiny, and machine washable, which is a big bonus. I don't really like the colorway, but all my nice looking yarn is not machine washable, and since I have a lot of
Regia in my stash, it needs to be knit up as well.
They are knit with 56 sts, with ribbing on the back of the legs. They will be useful, and hidden in boots anyway. I hope they'll arrive on time.
Today's a doctors day, with one appointment in the morning for me, and with Happy and Denny in the afternoon, for booster shots. Bleh.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

They are such beautiful colours and it was genius to spin them together.
Nice birthday socks, I like having rib at the back of the leg too.
Hope all the medical visits went well.
Happy weekend, Monika! Love your handspun!
Love the colours of that new handspun. And I think the socks look just fine
Gorgeous yarns as always. They don't strike me as a Taygete either - I'll be curious to see what you end up making with them.
Those yarns do play off each other nicely.
Doctor day! Bleargh. Hez has barely forgiven me from last week.
Your socks are cute, I like the variegated markings.
Lovely spinning. I like how bright and cheery they are!
I love how you combine the different colourways - you have such a good eye!
Socks look lovely!
Beautiful, beautiful, spinning! Those will all work together so well for a shawl ~
The socks will be super comfortable to wear and pretty too. Hope the boys are brave - LOL
I love Regia Bamboo for its' softness. It makes a nice pair of hardwearing socks.
The yarn is gorgeous plyed together.
Beautiful yarns!!! I look forward to seeing them knit into something because they are gorgeous together.
WOW! I needed a colour fix and knew just where to come. Beautiful.
