I made a knit stitch!

These last two weeks have been full of chaos! I'm starting school in 3 days and I've received some incredible packages in the mail this month!! I finally got my spindle and roving and it didn't turn out too bad! I've only filled up the spindle once and it turns out I didn't use enough twist. In other words, when I try to take my spinning off the spindle, it untwists so I have to redo everything. I haven't quite gotten around to that yet, but here's what my spindle looks like:

 

 

 

Just starting to wind it on

Completed roving. About 1oz.

In addition to these spinning endeavors, I've gotten some actual projects completed, which is always a relief!! Here's how that News Girl cap turned out!

I also finished another hat for a friend. It's just a simple beanie, but I'm actually modeling it instead of my insane stash of Care Bears!

Yay!! Also in the last few weeks I have successfully completed a knit stitch! I've been trying to learn how to knit for quite a while now and I just understood completed how to do a knit stitch. I have been trying to go through the entire stitch all this time and I just now realized, you only go through one loop! So here's an example of my knit stitch row:

Now if only I could keep the rows and edging even and learn how to avoid the awkward loop that always forms! I'm trying to get some straight rows of knit stitches before I move on to purling. Eventually, I'd like to be able to make a pair of socks before my baby boy is born!!

Right now I have some current projects, none of which have started because I've been queen of multiple naps every day. This third trimester is exhausting!! I've had a friend request two of the Newsgirl Cap in smaller sizes for her children and I'm currently working on a cabled beanie for another friend back in Texas. Sometime this week, I'd like to take the wool off my spindle and give it another shot, but I don't see that happening... I'm starting school full time in three days and I'm going to be rocketed into a world of chaos! I'll post when I get a chance and hopefully I'll get some crafting done before then!
