definitely a theme

the pattern shows the irregular plying, but i still totally dig this scarf

a new food mill for delcious soups & more

gifted tomato powder – this little jar holds 18 lbs of tomatos, wow. homemade ketchup is in the horizon.

last but not least, remember this bear? exactly.

p.s. check out the dumpster. i could read it for hours.

• wow!!! that scarf is gorgeous, Andrea. really really beautiful. impressive spindling.

  mmm… soup. pretty food mill. makes me want to start simmering; i think i have the makings of a potato leek soup or lemon potato soup in my fridge.

• I adore soup…potato & cheddar is on my list for this week… mmmmm.

  That’s a great idea to make a small project from each 4 oz batch of your handspun. Somehow I just accumulate it, and later look at all these random bits and wonder what to do with them! Your new scarf is lovely…I love the color even more knitted up!

• That scarf is SO beautiful. I love that patterning. Great work, A. Be very proud of it! ;)

  I love the red theme of this post. I know it was meant for Valentine’s, but it is like a warmup for Project Spectrum too!

• Lovely scarf! I love the color and the yarn itself as well.

  Homemade kechup? That sounds like fun :-)

• I love the theme… Happy Valentines Day.

  The scarf is gorgeous and the yarn looks so pretty with that pattern.

• I totally dig that scarf. I love red, but can’t wear much of it. (So sad). I have some of that same great roving as well – I’ll have to do something spectactular with it, too!

• Love that scarf! And I’m interested to see what things you make from that tomato powder…I’ve never heard of that!

• I’m really jealous of your scarf AND your food mill. I’ve been thinking about getting a food mill for a while (ever since I read Deborah Madison’s description of tomato sauce made with a mill), but I’ve never seen one as cute as yours.

• the scarf is absolutely gorgeous. i’m in total awe of you spinning your own yarn and knitting such beautiful things. great pattern/colour combo as well.

  happy weekend, andrea!
