Knitted necklace

This is Sev(en) cirlce, a pattern by Kirsten Johnstone.  I absolutely love it.  A clever and fun pattern using leftover bits of special yarn gives you this fun knitted accessory.  Somewhere between a cowl and a necklace, it keeps your neck just warm enough.  I've made two already, and just started on a third.  I may need an intervention!  This one was made with a leftover skein of a merino-silk blend, and its drapes beautifully.

The Art of Spinning Wheel Maintenance



I'm fortunate to have a guy who's willing and able to tinker with new spinning wheels I acquire. This one was given to me recently by his mother.  With a little love, it should be up and spinning.  Until then, it sits looking pretty in my studio.
