Blue cardigan - again

I bought two cones of blue Jumper Weight Shetland yarn from Jamieson & Smith a year ago. It wants to become a cardigan. I found a nice lace pattern in Barbara G. Walker's "Charted Knitting Designs 3":

With my usual knitting speed I think it will be finished next year...

Spinning Shetland again

The gorgeous fleece I bought at Jamieson & Smith in Shetland last year, I wonder if I'll ever get it spun? I have combed it on my finest dog comb, spun a few sample skeins, I've tried a light spindle and my wheel... Now I've started again. This time I comb the already combed locks on Gammeldags' mini two pitch wool combs, and the result is amazing.

This is Oliver Henry showing Shetland fleece at J&S:

This is what I did last year: my fleece last year

And this is what I'm doing to my fleece now, combing the once combed fibers again:

Spinning suddenly became very easy :)
