Land beautiful land!! this ship has just come in...thank god. and not a minute too soon, i thought i was going to have to make myself walk the plank. i dove head first into this yarn today and i spun everything from the deep blue to the shore with crashing waves. i truly am a land lover. as soon as i got to the sections with the sparkly sand fiber i was totally into this project and the spinning went fast. i f**ing LOVE the sandy parts of this yarn. it's warm and glittering..... like my heart now that i got over that dead spot. i must really really have some scary ocean trauma from a past life to work out. maybe i was a heartbroken maiden who threw herself off the turret into the waves. or perhaps a pirate who stole the captain's rum and got tossed overboard for it....... i do like rum.
just need to soak and set this yarn. the very last thing i need to do is get on the big box wheel and spin the remaining mohair locks and silk thread into a dramatic super bulky yarn to use for the fringe. also need to work in the beads, glass and skulls. will try and do that tonight. for good juju i am going to santa cruz this weekend where i can sit on the beach and knit this thing while breathing in the salty air and rockin' a big pair of earmuffs.
MORE NEWS!

hand-mixed fiber for the waves. i just separated the mohair locks, threads and wool and mixed this all together by hand:
sparkley sand!!
this sweet little flower just showed up in my batt. so of course i took it as a good omen and spun it in.
the first bits of foam stripeing the blue water:
foamy waves, sparkling sand and blue water:
i'm going to thread these things right onto this silk yarn and have them really tangled in there....then i'll work it into the big dramatic fringe.
