1UP?

Today's topic is about skills that have been accrued over the last year. I don't think there's any specific skills that I've picked up in the last year, but I've certainly honed a few. My lace skills improved, and I have plans on conquering larger projects in the coming year. I've cabled more stitches, and dabbled in colourwork. And though it's not necessarily knitting, and there are no rules for KCBW, I'm going to talk about spinning!



I'm only about a month away from my first spiniversary! I brought Jemaine home in mid-May of 2010 the day after I finished my exams. I thought it was a fitting halfway-through-a-degree present :) I'm certainly not the best, and I haven't had as much time as I would like to play with it, but it's something that I look forward to improving on in years to come!



It's a bit paltry, but there are the spoils of my first year of spinning. I also have a bobbin somewhere, and some delicious wool/silk on the go... I'm consistently spoiled with lovely fiber, I hope my Tour de Fleece will be a bit more successful this year so I can keep up!
