Spinning and dying fun

After spinning a bobbin full of fiber and still having 4 ounces left out of my pound of roving, I decided to spin this up in a hurry and try some jacquard acid dye.  This is kelly green and I had such fun playing with it.  Now I have to  think of something to knit up with about 120 yards of worsted weight wool.  Any ideas?

After spinning up this fiber, I've decided I feel similarly about Romney in sheep and in candidates:  It'll pass in a pinch, but not my first choice!

My first lace shawl project was so fun, I've done three of them!  This is the Ashton shawlette, available at knittingparadise.com, where I ran into it.  The first was shawlette size in a sportweight handspun in bronze; the second is almost finished, but I need to find a little bit more of the sequined worsted weight yarn I found at Hobby Lobby in brown (or I'll finish it up with a matching or contrasting color on the points). I figure a more substantial weight shawl is good for Wyoming.  The third is my favorite, because I made it a full-sized shawl rather than a shawlette.  It is 52" wide and 26" top to points.  The yarn is Crystal Palace Panda Wool, in Bluebell.  I wanted to make something that will go with a lot of clothes.  However, I liked it so much, I'm likely to make it again in something where the yarn stars.  It truly knits up quick.  I started it at 1 p.m. on March 17, and finished it at 3 p.m. on March 25.

Stretched out so you can see the pretty pattern.  I need to get it blocked, but I couldn't wait to get the picture posted.

 Here I am modeling my newest creation!
