Found the pictures

Here is a picture of the yarn I spun and plyed. It is 70% Merino and 30% Silk.  When I first started spinning this I did not have a project in mind.  But one day just before I was about to go buy some special yarn for my scarf pal I took a second look at this and thought it was a great color for my pal plus it was  super soft for a scarf.

I started out with one pattern (below), but it turned out to be too long and just didn't cut it for me.  

So I ripped it out carefully and started another pattern.  So far so good! Picture to come when finished.  I need to start buying some goodies for my pal.  I'm on days off right now so will start today.  I need to go to town later on anyways as I am donating blood.  As a nurse I do give much blood to many needy patients, so am always on to people/family/friends to go donate.  So do someone a favour and go donate.  I love the slogan that the Canadian Blood Services use - "It's in you to give"  How fitting!
Also I forgot to mention that the yarn I used for the baby socks was some that I dyed last May when doing the Dye-O-Rama.  I used Louet Gems Pearl for the base yarn.  I really enjoyed learning how to dye yarn.  It's amazing the colours you can make with only three primary colours.  I bought Ashland Bays little starter which had yellow, blue and red only and made many colours.  Now that it is springtime I'm thinking about dyeing again.  I might even dye my sockapalooza pal's sock yarn once I know what colours she likes/dislikes.
