Zuri Suprise!

I finally finished my first Spin to Knit project! Zuri's Baby Suprise Jacket! It took a little less than a week for the knitting. I didn't track how much spinning time. I am very pleased with how it came out! I think she likes it too.

Thank you Wendy

My Knitting group The Charlotte Purls had a movie swap and here's my lovely package! Thank you Wendy for being so sweet and getting me such lovely gifts! I got an Elizabeth Zimmerman knitting video, the Baby Suprise Jacket. Some yummy squishy Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Dyed Cotton, Some Yummy Organic Tazo Chai, safe and yummy Dove Special Dark chocolates, a pretty Hazlenut scented candle and cute little bamboo inspired tea mug. There were also 2 mini bags of microwave popcorn that aren't pictured due to the fact that they had already been eaten by the time I took this. I love all of my gifts. I'm so glad I was able to participate in this swap.

Z's BSJ yarn

I finished spinning up the yarn for Zuri's Baby Suprise Jacket. It is 8oz. in 70% Merino 30% Seacell from Creatively Dying Yarns. Yummy soft goodness. Charlotte Purls, my knitting group is having a fall KAL to knit Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Suprise Jacket. Janet and I decided to spin the yarn for our jackets to make them truely OOAK. Here's my yarn, so as soon as I can make a swatch and cast on I'll be well on my way. I'm getting really excited!

On the niddynoddy after plying, too many wraps to count. . . maybe when I wind it into a ball I can borrow Janet's yardage measurement tool to determine how much yardage I have here. . .
