I recently spun these batts I bought on Etsy from Evonne Wee (her blog is here):
I was rather smitten with the color and grain and precious to see how it would spin up and how it was put together. I also commissioned some red batts, about which more later.
I spun up the fibre by [...]
I have had two projects in my knitting basket for several years. One I recently finished while on a stupidly long car trip — flying would have been a better choice, but we really knew we had gone somewhere (see here). The former is this:

I confess I like to knit gloves the way many knitters seem to like to knit socks — they are so satisfying.
