I did a good bit of spindle spinning in 2011. The silk singles are on the top and the cashmere singles are on the bottom. I wound the cashmere into a center pull ball and plied one strand of silk with two strands of cashmere using my Gem. Now I need to find just the right project for this precious yarn.
In 2011, I knitted 13 pairs of socks and I have three single socks awaiting a second sock at the moment. I completed 3 scarves, one shawl, 2 pairs of mittens, 5 hats (one handspun) and one handspun French Press cozy. I also have front, back, and sleeves knitted and blocked for a Twinflower pullover for my sister, Teresa. My nephews have recently discovered Harry Potter and each would like a Harry Potter scarf to wear for the rest of the winter so I will start on their scarves next.
I hope to knit with more of my handspun yarn in 2012 and to experiment with my inspiring 250 Japanese Knitting Patterns book. Happy New Year!
The silk singles look so nice. With the cashmere, a shawl or a cowl will be a luxurious item around the neck. You did well in 2011.

Happy New Year! Your singles are beautiful. I can't wait to see them plied together.
You certainly had a productive 2011. Can't wait to see what you do in 2012.
