Zombies Multiply
As you may already know, zombies multiply. They are by nature group people and the crochet versions as no exception. And this one has arms.

Zombies Up Ahead
I love zombies...not those fast moving, rage infected kind. But the slow moving, un-intelligent, herd mentality kind. I recently purchased a crochet pattern book with a few zombies and decided to use my hand spun yarn, which yielded a surprising 33 meters of two plied yarn, to work up a little zombie. You can see his stuffing out a bit from the slubs in the yarn. I just love that.
Spinning
Not the cycling class at your local health club. But, the kind Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty) pricked her finger spinning. Totally relaxing and with some practice you can create some one of a kind yarns. What's even better is that instruction is as easy as a quick drive up the coast and ask the pro.

Phew! I'm Phinished
Last night I finally finished my new shawlette. I steam blocked it this morning and plan to wear it today to work. I finished with my adjustments for my yarn with about 8 inches remaining. Final measurements revealed that while I was in stiches per inch guage, I was not in guage for the number of rows it was supposed to be - I had less rows than it called for. I will be sure to add photos soon! Have a wonderful day!
Knitting Knews
I have been working ever so slowly now on a sweet shawlette by Never Not Knitting . I really love the yarn I am using and couldn't be happier with the results. The yarn is created by a local central coast company named Valkyrie in the colorway Anastasia in Haven. It is a beautiful purply-red combination of hand dyed yarn. My favorite part of the yarn is that because I am using two strands, each one has it's own character, coloring and changes independent of each other within the hank. The result is a wonderful slight variation of the same hue throughout the shawlette. The photo doesn't nearly show the complexity - you have to see it in person.
