Sweater progress

Oh my, it goes quicker than I expected! knitting of the body done, I have started sleeves and I am almost half done with those too.
Tento sveter sa strikuje takmer sam, telo hotove, rukavy su takmer v polovici.



This lovely fibre is from webfootwoolies on etsy, lovely seller and wonderful fibre. Blend of angora rabbit, alpaca, and llama. Fuzzy and with a sprinkle of sparkly angelina fibre, I love it! It seriously drafted by itself! I made single ply lace yarn (I'm all about single ply lace yarns recently).

Angora, alpaca a lama chlpy od webfootwoolies, mmmm. A takuto vlnku som z toho spriadla, mmmm.

Little progres on Wing of the moth shawl, I devoted all my knitting time to the sweater.
Skoro ziadny progres na Wing of the moth saliku, vsetok strikovaci cas som venovala svetru.


I have spent today dyeing. I'm soo exhausted :) But it was a time well spent, I have managed to dye over 3 kilos of yarn. I updated the shop today with previous batch, and next update will follow shortly (humid irish weather, it takes ages to dry). But I'll have new base yarns! Silk/merino in thickish lace weight and scrumptious blend of cashmere and silk in lace weight, yum! Here are the wet yarns.

Dnesok som cely den farbila vlnky a nafarbila som viac nez tri kila. som uplne vycerpana, ale stalo to za to. Aj som dnes supla nove vlnky na etsy z predosleho farbenia, dnesne vlnky este schnu, ale supnem aj tie ked to vyschne (vlhko v irsku sposobuje velmi dlhe schnutie vlniek). Ale mam nove typy vlniek ueeej! Hodvab/merino taka tensia ako ponozkova, na cipku a tak a a potom najlepsia najmaksia zmes kasmir/merino, mnam! Tu su vlnky ako schnu.
