Project Handspun

October 5th, 2006

OK, so the pictures look kind of bland, and the finished product looks kind of poorly made. However, this is just meant to be the backing of a small wall hanging I’m making. The dowl will be cut to size into two pieces. The piece will hang from one dowl, and the other dowl will hang from the knitting. My idea was basically to create something to display my handspun yarn in little samples. I thought it would be fun to see my progress, and remember some of the stuff I’ve made.

I’m thinking of painting the dowls, but what color? White? Black? Brown?

I’m really amazed that something I made out of a pile of wool has turned into something knittable. It isn’t terribly even, or terribly soft, or even terribly pretty. All I can say about it is that it’s mine, down to the very light-mauvy color.

I must say I’m really enjoying the future discussions I may have with visitors who see this thing hanging on the wall, pieces of my spinning fluttering from it. I’ll say “Oh, I spun that…”
