It seemed time to finally start knitting some of my homespun yarn and since most of my homespun are too little yardage to knit much but hats and scarves, toys are a good use for the fiber goodness.

Spin and knit day
Today we are enjoying summer afternoon thunderstorms. Since the farm work is caught up, the house is dusted and vacuumed, I am enjoying some crafting time.
On the spinning wheel I'm spinning the wine part of a wine and roses yarn. The dark wine color will be plied with the rose colored merino to make what I hope is worsted weight yarn.
On the needles is homespun by Kirsten of Echo Valley Finnsheep. It is called Licorice with Vanilla. These two yarns along with the Jamica that I spun recently are being knit into little stuffed bunnies from a pattern Henry's Rabbits on Ravelry. They will be given to our granddaughters and our daughter and son-in-laws new nephew.
