OK - here it is... My first 8oz of completely hand-spun and hand-dyed Romney roving:
I used Jacquard acid dye - the color is called Sky Blue. It reminds me of the blue sky in my hometown in the Alps on a crisp winter day. So, the color will be called Bavarian Blues.
I spun it for my friend Nancy. She on the other hand will knit something for a friend with it for Christmas. I hope the friend doesn't read my blog - otherwise, sorry for the spoiler... I am too excited about this finished project not to talk about it and I can't wait to see what Nancy is going to knit with it. I'll figure out the exact yardage and WPI this weekend.
Today we have the Thanksgiving Luncheon at the firm and I cooked the red cabbage dish last night. My house smelled like Mom's kitchen, a nice memory and I'll be smelling this in a little less than 5 weeks when I go home for Christmas. I can't believe how time is flying.
Red cabbage is a very traditional side dish for German holiday meals. If you like to try the recipe - you can find it in my recipe section to your right. Or, if you are going to be at Knitch this Sunday for the Thanksgiving party, you can try it there. ;-)
