Hot off the hook today: an owl. This owl was made with my first homespun yarn. Sheep wool, spun on an Ashford wheel, which was a gift from my great aunt. She thought I'd put it to good use. :) The pattern is available as PDF download.

Eule aus handgesponnenem Garn/Owl Made From Homespun Yarn

Vier Farben/Four Colors
Here you can see the first outcomes of my spinning skills. One can see the increasing quality of the yarn from top left to bottom right. Now I just have to knit or crochet something with it.

Und läuft und läuft....../And runs and runs.......
Hier ist ein Foto vom Ashford-Spinnrad mit der fünften Wollfarbe, die ich bisher gesponnen habe. Die vier ersten Farben waren aus dem geld-rot-orangefarbenem Spektrum und ich würde daraus gern eine kleine Tasche häkeln und danach versuchen, sie in der Maschine zu filzen. Mal sehe, wie das wird. Im Moment spinne ich gerade grüne und blaue Wolle für das nächste kleine Projekt.
Here's a pic of the Ashford Spinning Wheel with the fifth color of wool on the bobbin. I already spun four colors in the yellow-orange-red spectrum and would like to crochet a little pouch with the yarn. What else cam to my mind is, that I could try to felt this bag in the washing machine after crocheting. This would make the meshes disappear and give the bag a smoother look. So let's see. The next color spectrum I'm spinning is green-blue, also four colors.

Ashford-Spinnrad/Ashford Spinning Wheel
I see new adventures coming my way! I got a spinning wheel from my grandaunt. It is not an antique spinning wheel, that you can often see for decoration, but a modern one: an Ashford Traditional Spinning Wheel. We talked about that spinning wheel for some time now and she knows that I am interested in crafts, especially in traditional crafts. But sadly she lives far away and so the wheel needed some time to make it here. But now I got it and can start. Check back often for more pictures and my creations. Now I only need a sheep for my backyard. ;-)
