I'm back...

...in the box; the PhatFiber Box that is! It's been a while since I've contributed and it's so nice and fun to be back. I've done fiber batts and yarn for November. The theme is Harvest Festival. I hosted a contest in my Ravelry Group to get some awesome inspirational images and they did not disappoint! This is what I choose:
(For some reason I cannot get the Amidst the Harvest Photo to upload, there is an error with it, so if you want to see it click here, it's in the winner's thread.

The yarn is Opulence Fingering: 80/10/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/Nylon in a minimal pooling colorway as always.

These are available for purchase at All For Love of Yarn (they are labeled November PhatFiber).

I have some fun things in store for the December Box, a spin a long and knit along; information will be coming soon!

I'm so thrilled...

...with this awesome skein of yarn that I spun. I'm proud to say I spun it all on a drop spindle! I plied on a wheel, much better and faster!

8ounces/250 grams
350 yards

Alpaca, Merino, Mulberry Silk, Camel down, Bamboo, Firestar, Angelina
All spun from these 3 batts:

The fiber is from Boho Knitter Chic Spins and Birds Nest Yarns. It was so much fun to spin these; I started with my first batt last June, almost a year ago! I didn't know what to do with just 3 ounces of fiber, so when I saw another batt in October that was very similar I snatched it up. Then I saw the middle batt that someone else spun, the yarn was gorgeous and I thought it would go perfectly with mine. They all made for a perfect 3 ply and I'm very happy with how it turned out! I want to make myself an ear-flap hat and mittens, but I'm not sure I'll have enough for both, we'll see as I go along, not sure what I want more though, mittens or hat...
