I'm babs and love knitting. I also spin although my spinning mojo has deserted me for some time. The other two hobbies I have as far as creativity goes are diamond painting and fanfic writing.

Currently I'm working on the Joy Cardigan from Laine magazine. I'm using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in Artifact which is a lovely dark smoky gray. I just finished another sweater in a chunky weight Shetland yarn from Liverpool Yarns. That sweater is a pullover in a pattern called Shamokin Pullover. I also have finished a poncho in a naturally colored Shetland that self striped.

I enjoy knitting socks, shawls, and lately sweaters (which I always avoided before).

I probably have enough yarn to last for many many years and am on a yarn diet until next spring at least. My fiber stash is also large and I want to really tackle some spinning this winter.

I have some Brooklyn Tweed yarn for another sweater also--Weekender Light. I made the regular Weekender and it is my favorite sweater ever--so comfy. I wouldn't call myself a yarn snob but I do prefer wool over anything else, mainly because the way wool feels when I knit with it--and I prefer non superwash wool over superwash except for socks.
