KnitCrate

 

And what is KnitCrate you ask? Umm, if you knit I feel like you should know this but if not you might be inclined to check them out. It is a monthly yarn box subscription. Which is very fun don't 'cha know. I joined last January and have not looked back. Click the link above to see how this company works. Here are two pictures of my KC boxes.

 I have finally figured out how to move pics from android to computer. And then I had to figure out how to download all that to Photo Gallery. Being over 60 is a pain in the butt. And, you know, I don't like google permissions with all that fishing around in my personal life. So I don't sync stuff. It just feels better.

Sorry 'bout that goog. Don't take it personal goog. Have a good day goog. 

You all have a good day too. Stay safe. 😷

My Cassandra

front view

This, the Cassandra, is my little darling spinning wheel. But as for the spinning on this wheel, her tension slips a bit. And this seems to cause the pull of the flyer to a bit weird sometimes. I've spun on an Ashford Traditional before (at one my favorite hangouts Heritage Farm Museum) and had that to compare her with. And so I probably would not have noticed or even cared if not for this comparison. She works great. A person needs only to become used to her quirkiness and then Live Happily Ever After in pursuit of woolish joy.

 Go see Cassandra's creator and check out his work. I will tell you his price is very good. 

wool dyed with madder root. It takes 4 yrs of growth to mature the color. Yes you heard me right.

Above is hand spun on Miss Cassandra

At left is The Gail Shawl knit with said above yarn.

This pattern (charted only) is on YouTube and as you can see the shawl is very pretty. Link to be added as soon as I find it. Miss place stuff all the time. So very sorry. I will locate.
