This is the rainbow yarn I’ve been spinning. I REALLY like how it came out. I need to spin more singles yarn (especially since plying is not my favorite part of spinning. ) Enjoy!

I could not resist participating in tour de fleece 2012.

Here’s my progress over day 1 & 2…

I would like for you to meet someone.

His name is R.B. (short for Rainbow Bunny).

My very first handknit toy! (The pattern is ‘R is for Rabbit‘)

He’s kinda handsome, don’t ya think?

This summer, I went to St. Louis. I made a side trip to Loopy Ewe. During my time there, I decided to go on a ‘rainbow hunt’ and I found this fingering weight yarn by Studio June Yarn in ‘Sunshine and Rainbows’ colorway.

At the time, I bought two skeins.

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a third. Whatever I make with this yarn, I want to make sure I have enough. And yes… I have a plan.

One can never have too many rainbows.

Hi. Yes, I’m still out here in the world. Is anybody out there?

It’s been a challenging year… during part of which, my favorite yarn store closed. I really only knit on one thing this for most of the summer – black rainbow shawl (the stripe study shawl) and I only finished it this past week.

These photos are pre-block. But I really like how it came out. Not really stripey, which I really like. This shawl is for me. Maybe one day I’ll make another one.

I couldn’t wait to knit the Stripe Study Shawl so I broke down and bought some yarn that caught my eye. (It was on sale, so why not?! )
