My Scottish Diamond gloves are finished. Knit with Satakieli yarn. Specs on my Ravelry page.
Halfway done my Estonian Lace Scarf knit in Kidsilk Haze.
Gorgeous handcombed New Zealand Polwarth divided onto 3 bobbins.
The finished 3 ply is about a fingering weight. It is very firmly plied for gloves or mitts.There is about 750 yards here.
I purchased Regia 3ply to knit the Prince of Wales pattern from the original Sanquhar booklet using 1.5mm double points. I plan on knitting all 4 patterns.
Next on my Rose is Serenity Farms Corriedale/Merino cross. I handcombed this lovely coffee coloured finewool and am spinning a 2 ply laceweight.
I love my spinning and knitting ...it gives me endless pleasure. I wish you all a wonderful holiday

Love the handspun :) Haven't had much time on my wheel lately. Perhaps when Christmas is over. Please post the progress on your latest gloves as well. 1.5!! People think I'm crazy when I knit on my 2mm's. lol
Whoops. Not very good with the posting. But just to let you know that I think your knitting and fibre productivity is incredible. Makes me feel like I'm sleeping and working too much! Must find time to make more fibre stuff...
Gina I cannot comment on your blog...stupid Google and open ID will not let me (don't know why). I have been trying for many months. Would have emailed you but don't know your email.
1,5mm!!!!!!! OMG! I am impressed!
Your spinning and knitting is so beautiful, Jody! I would rather knit with very fine needles than thick ones. My hands are happier with the fine ones.
Oh my. I saw the Sanquhar gloves years ago in Interweave and loved them. Lovely work. Your spinning results are sublime!!
Love your gloves they are just so gorgeous . I so agree with you re the pleasure our spinning and knitting gives us ;I just need more hours in the day to do all I have planned in my head ;)
Beautiful work Jody, especially love the lace scarf.
I agree with you working with fiber is such a pleasure.
Happy Christmas.
Doe.
that Polwarth yarn is gorgeous.I seldom have the patience to spin that fine. good show!
The gloves are gorgeous! I've only ever finished one pair of gloves. I find knitting the fingers too 'fiddly'.
Gorgeous!
